- [Josh] Erica.

- Josh.

- Come to Toronto and the first person I see is you.

- You're you're, you are...

- Older, alive, Satan?

- Here, you're here.

- Yeah, I'm here to finalize my divorce.

You remember that?

Your sister kicking my ass to the curb?

- Yeah, I remember you ignoring her

and taking her for granted.

- Have a nice life.

- Josh, wait a minute, let's, um.

Let's talk.

- Why?

- If you'd just give me a minute--

- No, how about not, okay?

And just think, Erica, once I go through this door,

we'll never have to see each other again.

- Josh, wait!

Ugh, Josh!

Why?

Out of all the people that you could have picked to be

my patient, why Josh?

- Why not Josh?

- Well, you know, I could think of

a million different reasons.

I don't like him, I don't understand him at all.

- Consider this your opportunity

to understand him better.

- No, but OK, he hates me, too.

He's in the middle of divorcing my sister,

and there's no way that he's gonna accept me as his doctor.

- Well, that's good because you aren't his doctor.

Erica, you are a doctor in training,

and your first assignment is to help

Josh move on with his life.

- Move on?

To what, I mean how do I even do that?

- You figure it out.

- I feel like you're setting me up to fail.

- Well, "Failure is nature's plan to prepare you

for great responsibilities."

Napoleon Hill.

And I think that you should prepare

to fail repeatedly, Erica.

This process is not going to be easy,

and it's not meant to be.

- Okay, so what do I do?

Do I just go out there, hand him the card, and ask him how

he's handling the divorce?

- You go out there and you get on with your day,

and your moment to jump in and help will arrive.

- How do I know when--

- You'll know.

Trust me.

- OK.

- Hey, can you be here for six?

I told Sam 6:30.

- Yeah, six is good.

Do you need me to pick up anything?

- Um, if you could grab some wine, that would be great.

I've got a million things to do, including finding my moment

to leap in and help Josh move on.

- Sounds like it's gonna be the fun part.

- Yeah, well, you don't know Josh.

And it doesn't help that my day is psycho.

I've got back-to-back interviews all morning,

and then I gotta rush home and cook.

and I just, I don't even wanna think about it.

- Then don't.

- Adam?

Hey!

I have to go to work.

- So be late, you're the boss.

- Seriously, seriously, we can't,

we can't do this right now.

- Seriously?

Why not?

- Because I have very important things to...

Oh my God.

I mean, I guess I could be a few minutes late.

[laughing]

Did anyone ever tell you you're really good at that?

- Which part?

- All of it, the, all of it.

- Yeah, practice makes perfect.

- So, how much practice have you had?

- Oh, come on, Erica, I was joking.

- No, I'm serious though, I'm curious.

How many women have you slept with?

Okay, I'll make it easy.

More than ten?

- More than ten, are you serious?

I don't think I know anyone that hasn't had

more than 10.

- Seven over here.

Okay.

So you've had more than 10.

Have you had more than 20?

More than 30?

More than 40?

You know what, let's just, we're gonna stop at 40.

- They didn't mean anything.

- Oh, come on.

- No, you know what they say about how

it's different when you...

- When you?

- When you love someone.

I've never loved anyone before.

Before now.

- And I've highlighted the essential points of agreement.

If you're both amenable, we'll use this as a basis

for preparing a formal settlement.

- Signed.

- Well, my issues about debt division,

are they included here?

And the London condo?

- Page six.

- Wow.

I wish you were this easygoing when we were married.

- [Solicitor] Josh.

- No, it's cool.

Anyone got a pen?

So that was easier than I thought it would be.

- Yeah, I just wanna move on so that both of us

can be happy.

- No, no, so that you can be happy, you mean.

Don't, don't speak for me.

- I wasn't speaking for you.

I was, I was being sincere.

- Then you should've thought twice before

asking for a divorce.

- OK.

Bye, Josh.

- That's right, storm off in a huff.

That's more like the Sam I know.

- Just get in the car, Sam.

Don't let him bring you down to his level.

- So what, that's how it is?

Am I even worthy of a response?

- Come on, man, just take it easy.

- What, you're too full of joy, and light, and peace.

- Hey, back off!

You hear me?

- Yeah.

- To answer your question, I am happy, Josh.

For the first time in years, I am happy.

And if you want to be mean and miserable,

that's your choice.

- [Lenin] Get outta my way.

- Just drive.

- [Erica] So tell us why you'd make a great assistant

here at 50/50.

- Well, I'm a professional typist, and a huge fan

of Sweet Dreams Kitty.

I read it to my cats every night.

Oh, and I loved Broken Dreams of Gold.

- Broken Dreams of Gold?

- The first book I edited, don't ask.

- Oh, it's Sloan Scott.

You work out at my gym, do you do Zumba?

- Oh my God, I heart Zumba!

It's like I'm getting a workout and a night out

at the same time!

- Oh my God!

I totally agree.

Do you have Julio as your instructor?

- Uh, Julio-else do you think?

[laughing]

- You're cute.

- Uh, Sloan, it's just I see here that you don't have

any actual experience as an assistant.

- What do you mean?

Oh.

- And, when I was doing my masters in English lit,

I spent summers working at a small press in Ottawa.

Secretarial work, but they also had me doing coverage

on the missions.

- Coverage, really?

- Well, yeah.

First time in my life I actually felt cool.

- I bet.

So, Rachel, uh, tell me what you--

- My spare time?

Well, I do lots of things.

I write a blog.

I'm into guerrilla gardening.

Seed bombs, you know?

- How did you do that?

I mean, how did you answer a question that hadn't asked yet?

- You asked what I do in my spare time.

- No, I was gonna ask you what you do in your spare time,

but then you cut me off.

- OK.

This might sound weird but,

I'm a little bit psychic.

But it gets worse when I'm nervous,

and since this is an interview situation--

- I'm sorry, what?

- Shh.

- The more nervous I get, the more psychic I am.

I have no control over it.

You know, it's like some people sweat, I get psychic.

- Okay, please tell me we don't have to

do this again tomorrow.

- Well, we won't have to if we pick someone

from today, OK?

- I mean, it's pretty obvious who.

- Yeah, Rachel. - Sloan.

- Sloan?

Julianne, she has zero experience.

- I know, but she does Zumba.

And I got a very good vibe from her

and not a creepy "I'm a psychic" vibe, like Rachel.

- Rachel has actual experience.

And so what if she's quirky?

I mean, she seems smart.

- She did a chair dance.

And she's keen, and she's got great references.

- She's a freak.

- Okay.

We will Just call more people and set up more interviews.

- Oh no.

No, it's fine.

We'll hire the weirdo psychic with experience.

- Yes!

- But a voice from beyond is telling me not to be surprised

if it doesn't work out.

- Julianne, it's fine.

I'm calling her right now.

- Ugh.

- Then Josh follows me outside.

Lenin's waiting for me.

- I wasn't planning on being there, but I'm glad I was.

- My knight in shining armor.

- Good man.

- Anyway, the kicker?

I got home and there's an email from Josh's lawyer

with even more demands.

- No, no, no, wait, I thought that he signed?

- There was a rescission period and he changed his mind.

- He's doing everything he can to make you hurt.

It's, it's petty.

- Anyone want some more wine, Sammy?

- I'm good with water, thanks.

But I will have a cupcake.

- Yeah, sure.

Cupcakes with sprinkles, coming right up.

- Thank you.

Guys, I just, I can't believe I wasted so many years

with that selfish bastard.

Nobody liked him, you hated him.

- Well, I mean, I didn't hate him.

- Oh, come on, you did.

And I was so protective of him for so long,

and now it makes no sense to me.

Why did I love him?

How could I have loved someone like that?

Anyway, it's fine.

If he wants a war, I will give him one.

- All right, I know you're upset honey.

Me, too, but we need to just chill on the Josh thing.

Dude's got issues.

- Yeah, Lenin's right.

- Are you seriously suggesting that I should feel

sorry for him?

- No, but I do think you need to be the bigger person.

Rise above all this.

Show him some, some maturity.

- I've tried.

No matter what I do he keeps coming after me, and look,

there comes a point when you have to say enough is enough

and fight back.

- [Josh] Erica.

- Josh, hi.

- If Sam's got something to say to me,

she should say it through her lawyer.

- Look, Josh, I know this might be weird,

but honestly, I'm not here to attack you.

I'm I'm here to help.

- Right, okay, goodbye, Erica.

- No, just, Josh, Josh wait.

- Look, if Sam wants to move on with her life

with some Rasta dude?

Good for her.

But me, I'm just thinking things through.

- You're torturing her on purpose.

- I'm glad to hear it's working.

- I'm not, I'm not, I'm not.

I, I hate that guy!

I, I hate him and I want to punch in his smug little face!

[screaming]

- Erica.

Okay.

Why don't you, why don't you just relax, okay,

and come and sit, please.

There you go.

Better?

- No, you know what, not really.

And I can't do this, I don't know how to do this.

- One step at a time.

Okay?

Let's start with where you're at.

- Well, I--

- You hate Josh, I understand that.

So why don't you tell me when that started, the hatred.

- Spring break 1998.

We were supposed to spend the week

at my Grandmother's condo in Lauderdale.

It was supposed to be me and Sam.

Sam wound up inviting Josh, so I invited Jenny.

But then, before we even got on the airplane,

Sam got food poisoning and she barfed all over the,

- [Dr. Tom] The conveyor belt?

- And our carry-on luggage, and Jenny's brand new

kitten heel sandals.

- Yeah, okay.

- Anyway, instead of Josh staying in Toronto

to take care of Sam, he flew down with us.

We were just stuck with him.

And yes, okay, we could've been more mature about it,

but Josh went insane.

He was constantly wasted and wound up naked in the pool.

And the condo board, they almost kicked my Bubbe out.

And so, by the time Sam finally arrived--

- Yeah, yeah, you hated him.

- Wow.

Before that trip, you know, I always thought that,

Josh, he was mildly annoying but mainly harmless.

After that trip?

Oh, I saw him for what he really is.

You know, he's rude and crude and hugely insincere,

On top of being--

- [Dr. Tom] Erica?

- What?

- I get the picture.

Here's the thing though.

Each patient is chosen for a specific reason.

They have something to teach you, and you have a way

to help them.

However, neither of these things can happen without first

establishing a connection.

You have to build a connection with Josh, all right?

Otherwise, why would he trust you enough to open up?

- How?

I mean, we have nothing in common.

- Well, which brings us to lesson one.

You are your patient.

- What the hell does that mean?

- Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

First, build a bridge with Josh, connect.

So that you can do your job and help him move on

with his life.

- Whoa!

Sorry.

Sorry.

- What is with the Strange sisters today?

I mean, come on, Sam, let's go.

- Jenny, hand me that bin now!

- What, why?

- Look, if you like your brand new shoes you will

hand me that bin.

- Oh my God.

- It's okay, Sam. - Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Check it, I got this humongous bottle of liquid gold

for 18 bucks.

- Josh, that's that's great, but look,

Sam is sick and I don't think she's gonna be able

to make the flight.

- Yes, you can.

It's up and down, three hours.

- Sam, you have food poisoning and you can't fly

if you're throwing up.

So, look, here's what we'll do.

You're gonna go home and get some rest and, Josh,

you you can come with us.

- What, Erica.

- Yeah, and Sam, you can fly down in a couple of days,

when you're feeling better.

- She'd have to get a whole new flight.

- It's just, you know, it's just rebooking fees,

it's no biggie.

So we settled?

[festive music]

- So what, I'm supposed to like accept that you invited

this asshole along to ruin our vacation?

- Well, look, this asshole, he's probably gonna marry

Sam one day, which will make him my brother-in-law.

So I need to build a relationship with him,

and that is exactly what I'm gonna be doing on this trip.

- Okay.

You called him a cheesy, annoying loser and made fun

of his Duran Duran tattoo to his face.

- When did I do that?

- Yesterday.

Good luck building that relationship.

- You girls coming or what?

I'm hitting the pool, I gotta get my rays on.

- [Jenny] Hey, Mr. Anderson.

- This place is full of old people.

Oh, hey, ladies.

- No, no, no, no. This is not what I signed up for.

- Jenny, I told you this is my bubbe's condo.

- Okay, but it looks like a scene from

The Golden Girls.

- Wait till I bust out the whiskey.

Then it'll be Golden Girls Gone Wild!

- Ew.

- You guys, look, it's free and it's a 10 minute walk

to the beach, so quit your whining.

[gasping]

- What?

- Hello, can we say gorgeous?

Okay, if Ricky Martin turns out to be gay or married?

We're checking out of bubbe-land and into the Lago Mar,

all right?

- Go get him, tiger.

All right, let's, let's get our rays on.

- Are those two cool?

Hey! - No, actually,

let's just, let's sit somewhere else, okay?

- Why?

- Because "Call me Barry" Rosenfeld over there,

he's a little bit of a letch.

Let's go over here.

- Do you mind if me and my friend join you

for a little fun in the sun?

- Hi, Mr. Rosenfeld.

- Erica.

- [Erica] Oh!

- I tell you this every time, call me Barry.

Here, please.

- [Erica] Okay.

- So, Erica, is this your boyfriend?

- Yes, it is.

- No, we're just friends, the name's Josh.

- [Barry] Nice to meet you, Josh.

- Can I let you in on a little secret, Barry?

- Sure.

- My friend Erica loves older men.

She likes a man who can teach her things like Mahjong

and a Merengue.

A man of refinement, a man of distinction.

- My first wife?

20 years younger than me.

That's what I love about this modern world, anything goes.

- I need some water.

- Come on, Erica, don't be mad.

- Don't be mad?

Why do you act like this?

- I was just trying to have some fun.

- At my expense.

- Seriously, Erica, I only did that for a laugh.

I'm not trying to be mean.

- [Jenny] Oh my God!

- Hey!

- So Jesus, AKA the hottest pool boy slash graffiti artist

ever has just invited us to Las Olas,

Lauderdale party central.

It's gonna be off the H-double-OK!

- Um.

I don't know, Josh, do you have any big plans tonight?

- No.

- Erica, Jesus invited us.

- No, that's cool, you guys go.

- Okay.

- No, look you know what?

I'll go if Josh goes.

Just go ask Jesus if we can have one more.

It's not a big deal.

Come on!

- Okay.

Sure.

[upbeat music]

- Well, she doesn't waste any time.

Wow, I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

- Mmm!

Oh, Jenny It's just, it's always the same story.

Not the fun night out you were hoping for, I bet.

- No, no, I'm glad Jenny and Rico Suave

are making a love connection.

It's entertaining.

Thanks for inviting me, by the way.

- No, I wanted to.

Uh, so, what should we talk about?

- I don't know.

- All right, how 'bout this, how 'bout this?

We ask each other a question, and it can be anything,

but you have to answer it.

Come on, it'll be fun, it'll be fun.

I'll start.

Uh, what's with the tattoo on your arm?

- Come on, like I liked Duran Duran.

The Union of the Snake was like my anthem.

So one drunk night, I got a little carried away.

- Okay, now it's your turn.

Ask me question, it can be anything.

Bring it.

- Why haven't you had a real boyfriend since high school?

- Wow.

Way to just start at full speed.

Um.

I don't know, I guess I had, or I have,

a tendency to pick guys apart, unfairly.

And maybe deep down I don't know what I want, or didn't.

What?

- It's your turn to ask.

- No, no, no.

What were you just thinking?

That is my next question.

- I can't tell you all my secrets.

- Actually, I just, I just have to go to the bathroom,

but you are not off the hook, mister.

Wow, you really don't do subtle, do you?

"Life is too short to blend in."

Paris Hilton.

So you seem to be making some headway.

- Yeah.

Who knew, It's been pretty eye-opening.

You know, back in 1998, Josh, he was just,

he was a lot less bitter, a lot more open,

and actually sorta funny.

- You sound surprised.

- Not so much, you know.

I mean, if the point is for me to realize

that Josh he's an actual person, you know,

he's not just the devil.

So I need to stop judging him and stop focusing

on his bad qualities and start looking towards

his good qualities.

- Oh, and the trophy for the most obvious realization

of the evening goes to Erica Strange.

- What?

That's not it?

Okay, look, I don't understand, because you told me

to build a bridge and that's what I've done.

And what on Earth is this for?

- Ammunition.

[speaking in foreign language]

- Oh my God, of course, Jesus has a girlfriend.

- Gloria Estefan here comes out of nowhere

and starts shrieking at Jenny.

[speaking in foreign language]

[screaming and shouting]

- You guys, just chill out!

- Ha, ole!

- Jenny! - What?

Yeah.

[speaking in foreign language]

- Yeah, no, okay, Jenny.

Just, you know, just do whatever it is that you wanna do.

Okay.

See you tomorrow.

Well, Jenny is going to spend the night with Jesus.

- Well, I hope he has a deadbolt.

[chuckling]

- Oh.

You know, Josh, I'm really glad that we got

to hang out tonight.

Seriously, it's...

- Yeah, me too.

- I wish we'd done it sooner.

- Stop before you're gonna start telling me

my eyes look like the ocean.

- Oh my gosh.

[yawning]

I am exhausted and I drank too much, so good night.

- No, no, no, it's not even midnight.

Your bubbe's got VH1.

We can stay up and watch pop-up video.

- Sorry, I'm too tired.

But hey, you know what?

You should get some sleep too and we can do this

all over again tomorrow.

Good night.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, what the?

What the hell was that?

That was not an invitation.

What the hell is wrong with you?

[soft music]

Oh my god, you scared me.

- Ugh, shh!

Keep your voice down, this hangover's brutal.

- Hey, listen, did you, did you see josh on your way up?

- Yeah, i did. He was at the pool.

- And did he, did he say anything or?

- How about, uh, hey, Jenny, how was your fabulous

night with Jesus?

How 'bout that?

- Jenny. - Erica, honestly?

Your obsession with Josh is whacked.

And if I didn't know you, I would think you were

in love with him.

- Oh wow.

Oh God.

He kissed me.

- What? - Yeah, last night.

You know, I just thought we were having this nice,

relaxed conversation and he took it as an invitation.

- Ew, ew, what a sneaky creep!

He's dating your sister.

I mean, you should get on the phone to Sam right now.

- No, look, I'm not I'm not doing that.

Josh, he just I mean, he just made a mistake.

And he has no sense of boundaries

And he needs to be confronted and just told

that it's not okay and--

- Erica, no, no, you're being way too forgiving, okay?

Josh is a creep, end of story.

- Well I mean, that's a little simplistic.

- You know what, nevermind.

That's fine, go talk to him, Mother Theresa,

and go prove me right.

- Jenny, why--

[rock music blaring from headphones]

[water splashing]

- Hey!

- Hey we need to talk.

- Can't hear you.

[rock music blaring from headphones]

- Listen, Josh, I'm, uh...

I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt here.

- Listen, Erica, beer goggles, shit happens.

There's nothing to talk about.

- Listen, Josh, you're dating my sister

and shit doesn't just happen.

What you did was wrong and I need to understand you.

How could you do something like that?

- You came on to me.

- Josh.

- With the questions and the hugs,

and "oh, Josh, wish we'd done this sooner."

- I was just being friendly.

- No, more like you were drunk and horny and now

you're trying to blame me.

Okay, but you're the slut who tried to get it on

with her sister's boyfriend.

If you don't back off, that's what I'll tell Sam.

And who do you think she's gonna believe, huh?

Me, that's who.

And I'll make sure she hates you forever.

- Uh, I can't work with him.

I can't work with that guy.

I can't, I tried, I took a risk,

I tried to connect with him, but it's just,

it's the same crap.

- Nevertheless, Josh is your patient.

- He is toxic, right to the core, just toxic.

- So, what're you trying to say?

- I think that it's time for me to move on

to a new patient.

- And that's what you want?

- Yeah, that's what I want.

- Then it's done.

- Okay.

Phew.

- Hey, that was fast.

- Not really.

I just spent the last two days in Florida and I'm wiped.

- In Florida, eh?

Cavorting with movie stars on South Beach, were ya?

- No, no, no.

This is 1998, fort Lauderdale.

Old people and Speedos do not mix.

- Ouch. - Yeah.

- So how was your first case?

- Pretty bad since I quit.

I mean, not training, just just being his doctor.

- You quit?

- Yeah, you know what, it just, you know,

it wasn't gonna work out.

- After one session, of course it wasn't gonna

work out right away.

- No, at all.

I mean, you said it yourself.

Josh, he is messed up.

- You think me and Dr. Tom hit it off

when I first started therapy?

I battled him every step of the way,

and I was no cocky investment banker like Josh.

I broke bones for a living.

Did Dr. Tom give up on me?

- No, but you know what, it's just, it's not the same.

- Yeah, it is.

You're a doctor now.

- In training.

- In training, who just quit on her very first patient.

- Ah, dammit!

Ugh, it's just it's really hard and--

- And I have no idea what it's like, so I shouldn't comment.

- No, hey, that's look, that is that's not

what I meant at all.

- All I can say is don't give up.

Dr. Tom gave you Josh for a reason.

- Mm.

- Anyway, I should get going.

I've got an early start tomorrow.

I'll come by tomorrow night, okay?

- Okay.

Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Good night. - Good night.

Oh, okay.

[soft music]

- Have a seat.

- I wanna try again.

- Okay.

Well, then I think that we should start at the beginning.

- Okay.

- You are your patient.

- See, that's the problem, Dr. Tom,

because I don't understand what that means.

Because I'm not at all.

I'm nothing like him.

- You know you say that repeatedly, right?

- I would never act the way that he does, ever.

Every time I try to reach out and connect with him,

every time I open myself up to him,

he either shuts down or attacks me.

- And you would never do something like that?

shut someone down when they're opening up to you.

- No, of course I wouldn't.

- Really?

So you are totally innocent when it comes to Josh?

- Uh, where are we?

- Well, you're over there with Josh.

- This is the night of the blackout.

What're we doing here?

- Well, this was an important night for you and Josh.

It was the first time that he opened up to you

and let you know how he felt.

Watch and listen to your reaction.

- [Josh] You know how I met Sam?

Grade nine, I switched lockers so I could to meet her.

- [Erica] Why?

- Strategy, 'cause I was I liked this other girl

that she was with and she and Sam were really close.

- Okay, so you used her.

- Yup, to get to the girl I liked.

But just it didn't work.

You know, and she's a great girl.

My parents liked her, my friends liked her, I liked her.

I just didn't love her.

- What?

- And Sam could sense it.

She can tell my heart's not in it.

See, that's the thing.

From the beginning, my heart has always wanted...

- Don't.

- Erica,

- No, okay?

No, just stop talking, I don't want to hear it, okay?

I gotta go find Sam and uh...

Shit.

You do not tell Sam ever.

- I won't. - Ever!

- I won't.

[sobbing]

- Josh exposes himself to you, he shares his feelings,

is vulnerable in a way that's excruciating, and you?

You shut him down.

You shut him up.

- I never meant to hurt him.

I didn't and I certainly didn't do it on purpose.

And when Josh hurts people, he does it on purpose.

- And that's the distinction, is it?

Really, that Josh, he does it, it's on purpose,

but when you do it by accident, right?

- Yes.

- In Florida, when he kissed you--

- No, that was completely different,

and he deserved to be told off.

He was dating my sister.

- Erica, I think you're missing the point.

- Which is?

- Which is you place Josh down here

and you place yourself up here,

and you say, that is not me.

I could never be like that.

You know, that person is other is undeserving a monster.

It's an old story, it's how wars begin,

it's how people turn on each other.

And, you know, it starts so simply too.

I am not you.

I am nothing like you.

And it is, each time, a lie.

Because underneath all the layers of,

of fear and the protection, we are, at our core, the same.

We have the same needs, and we carry with us the same

capacity for good and evil.

[soft music]

- You are your patient.

- You are your patient.

You are every patient you will ever have

and every person you will ever meet.

And until you acknowledge that you have the capacity

not just for kindness and compassion, but also for

heartlessness and cruelty, until you acknowledge that,

you will never be able to start from here.

You'll never be able to help Josh.

- Yeah.

- I expect the final round of bids at 5:00 on Friday,

otherwise you're out of the process, okay?

[rapping at the door]

- Hi again.

- Erica, I told you last night, tell Sam to get her lawyer.

- Look, Josh, I'm not here about Sam.

I'm here, to talk about us.

- I got a lot of work to do, so...

- I'll make this quick.

I'm just having trouble figuring out where to start.

It was hard enough to make myself come here.

- Look, I don't know what this is about.

- This is about the fact that, for a long time, Josh, I,

I thought I was better than you.

That's how I acted, that's how I treated you, and I'm sorry.

- [Josh] You came all the way here to tell me that

you're sorry that you thought you were better than me?

- I came here to tell you that I'm sorry for the times

that I hurt you.

- Yeah, you hurt me, Erica.

I cried myself to sleep every night.

Jesus.

You wanna make things right?

Then spare me the big drama, okay?

'Cause drama's the last thing I need right now.

So I think you should leave.

- Um.

- Fine, you can watch me work.

And once you get bored enough, you can let yourself out.

- I treated you the way that I treated you because I wanted

to put distance between us.

Because I couldn't deal with you,

with the way with what I felt from you.

Because I always felt it, Josh, even before you told me.

- Why are you bringing this up?

- Because this thing between us

that we can't talk about, that we've never talked about?

It's affected our entire relationship.

- I'm divorcing Sam, not you, Erica, okay?

So you don't have to worry about our relationship.

- When you kissed me in Florida,

- Erica!

- I couldn't deal with your emotions.

I didn't want to, so instead, I treated you like a monster.

But you're not, you were just you were trapped inside

of something that you couldn't find your way out of,

and I know what that is like because

I spent years trapped inside my own life.

- What do you want me to say?

- Whatever you want to say.

- I don't want to say anything to you.

Fine.

It was awful, okay?

It sucked.

I was the loser creep who wanted his sister-in-law.

Does that make you feel better?

- No.

- I dunno.

- Does it make you feel better to know that

I have felt like a loser ever since high school?

- I find that hard to believe.

- Really, I couldn't sustain a relationship,

I couldn't figure out a career.

I spent years feeling like there was something wrong with me

and like it would never get better

and I would never be happy and I am not pretending

to know what it's like to be you, Josh.

But I see things differently now.

I see you differently now.

And there are a lot of ways in which we're sorta similar.

♪ When I lay down tonight

- Anyway, thank you for hearing me out.

♪ I come with open arms

- Erica?

- Yeah?

- Do you, still feel trapped?

- No.

- What changed?

- I did.

I spent years holding onto regrets and wishing that

I would've done things differently and once I let that go,

things got a lot better.

♪ Let the burdens all slip

♪ I will loosen my tight grip

♪ Give me peace, love and happiness.

- [Erica] Have you ever felt at home in a crowd?

Like you were part of something bigger

and you felt this amazing energy that happens

when people come together?

How, despite the superficial differences,

you know that deep down we're all the same?

We have the same secret needs and the same wild dreams.

We walk around thinking our secret pain,

our secret joy is so unique, when really,

we all just want the same things, to be happy,

to be safe, to be loved.

♪ No struggling just me just now still here

♪ In the back of night

♪ Ain't nobody speak just keep it silent

♪ No sound just my body crying

♪ When I lay down.

♪ Ba ba ba ba

♪ Ba ba ba ba
