wants to unload on us?

It's less of a commitment.

481
00:17:37,324 --> 00:17:40,160
Can we--one more?
Thanks.

482
00:17:40,227 --> 00:17:42,595
Okay, start at the beginning.

00:17:46,065 --> 00:17:48,701
- Yes, Father.
Okay, Father.

485
00:17:48,768 --> 00:17:51,069
Yes, we just wanted
to verify everything

486

isn't she?

00:17:59,179 --> 00:18:01,814
Okay.
Okay.

Vince, hi.

495
00:18:10,289 --> 00:18:12,592
- Hey, Hot Mom.

496
00:18:12,659 --> 00:18:14,993
- Oh, I don't think
that name's gonna stick.

497
00:18:15,060 --> 00:18:16,796
Um, how was your Saturday?

498
00:18:16,863 --> 00:18:19,465
- Well, not as good
as my Friday, thanks to you.

499
00:18:19,531 --> 00:18:22,602
So I was thinking,
we're both in the city,

500
00:18:22,669 --> 00:18:24,103
we're both single,

501
00:18:24,171 --> 00:18:25,872
and I have a reservation

502
00:18:25,938 --> 00:18:29,308
in Soho on Monday
 and no one to go with.

503
00:18:29,375 --> 00:18:31,042
- That sounds really nice,
actually,

504
00:18:31,109 --> 00:18:32,412
but I should be honest
with you.

505
00:18:32,479 --> 00:18:34,247
I'm not sure I'm ready to be

someone's dance partner
right now.

507

- That's good,

508
00:18:36,982 --> 00:18:38,250
because I think
I popped my knee out

509
00:18:38,317 --> 00:18:40,487
during the Lindy hop.

 you just got out of something.

511
00:18:43,490 --> 00:18:45,791
All I'm looking for is somebody
to sit across from me

512
00:18:45,857 --> 00:18:47,326
at a nice restaurant.

513
00:18:47,394 --> 00:18:49,528
- A dinner buddy.
- Exactly.

514
00:18:49,596 --> 00:18:52,664
You know, anything else
is just icing.

515
00:18:52,731 --> 00:18:54,166
Do you do icing?

516
00:18:54,233 --> 00:18:57,068
You know, I should really learn
your dietary restrictions

517
00:18:57,135 --> 00:18:58,971
if we're gonna be
 dinner buddies.

00:18:59,038 --> 00:19:00,440
- Yes.

519

- What?
To dinner or to the icing?

at the end of the term,

plus medical and dental.

You know, I've never had
dental insurance in my life.

536
00:19:41,913 --> 00:19:42,914
- So you'll think about it?

537
00:19:42,981 --> 00:19:44,115
- There's nothing
to think about

538
00:19:44,182 --> 00:19:45,285
except which crown
I'm replacing.

Uh, where do I sign?

- You bid on her painting,
right, babe?

be seeing a lot more of her

on Instagram Stories
this weekend?

558
00:20:27,226 --> 00:20:28,694
- We had a breakup brunch

00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,698
which Lauren tried to turn into
a make-out dinner.

- Oh.

so it all worked out.

for your notes.

They were as smart
and incisive as I'd hoped.

- Just doing my job.

- Yeah, that's what
I'm trying to do too.

So I hope we can put the past
in the past and move on.

Should I forward the notes
to Charles?

tonight at dinner.

- Yeah, I just gotta get used
to her being around.

577
00:21:09,101 --> 00:21:11,471
Better to have her as an ally
than an enemy, right?

as an ally.

such a crush on you.

590
00:21:42,835 --> 00:21:44,903
Is that okay to say
on a first date?

591
00:21:44,971 --> 00:21:47,406
- It's not a date, buddy.

592
00:21:47,473 --> 00:21:50,343
Besides, I think I'm undatable.

593
00:21:50,410 --> 00:21:52,310
- You are many things,

594
00:21:52,378 --> 00:21:54,547
but undatable
isn't one of them.

595
00:21:54,614 --> 00:21:57,083
- So since it's not a date,

596
00:21:57,148 --> 00:21:59,352
can I ask how you
and Andrea are doing?

597
00:21:59,419 --> 00:22:00,586
- We're friendly.

598
00:22:00,653 --> 00:22:02,855
My divorce was probably
a lot like yours.

599
00:22:02,922 --> 00:22:04,323
- Oh, so you cheated on her

600
00:22:04,391 --> 00:22:06,492
and lost all your savings
playing blackjack in Bayonne?

601
00:22:06,558 --> 00:22:09,596
- Yikes.
Not that. [chuckles]

602
00:22:09,662 --> 00:22:11,798
I just mean that
we were married pretty young,

603
00:22:11,864 --> 00:22:14,866
and, um, I've been married
most of my adult life.

604
00:22:14,933 --> 00:22:16,201
And so when it ended,

605
00:22:16,268 --> 00:22:19,005
I finally had to ask myself
who I really was.

606
00:22:19,070 --> 00:22:20,406
* *

607
00:22:20,472 --> 00:22:22,442
- And who were you?

608
00:22:22,509 --> 00:22:25,310
- Well, I was a person

609
00:22:25,377 --> 00:22:28,079
who grew up
with miserable parents.

610
00:22:28,146 --> 00:22:29,181
- Hmm.

611
00:22:29,248 --> 00:22:31,083
- And then my own relationships

612
00:22:31,150 --> 00:22:32,585
were not great,

613
00:22:32,652 --> 00:22:35,387
but as long as
I was successful,

614
00:22:35,454 --> 00:22:37,656
I could convince myself

615
00:22:37,723 --> 00:22:40,859
that a partner was a liability
that I didn't want.

616
00:22:40,926 --> 00:22:43,895
- All I ever really wanted
was a family,

617
00:22:43,962 --> 00:22:47,098
a house, a wife, kids.

618
00:22:47,165 --> 00:22:49,701
Do you know how much pressure
that puts on a marriage?

619
00:22:49,769 --> 00:22:51,269
- I do,

620
00:22:51,336 --> 00:22:53,539
and I know
how destabilizing it is

621
00:22:53,605 --> 00:22:55,074
when you put
all your chips on something,

622
00:22:55,141 --> 00:22:56,608
and it doesn't work out.
- [scoffs]

623
00:22:56,675 --> 00:22:59,878
- Your whole life,
a really good life,

624
00:22:59,945 --> 00:23:01,647
just vaporizes.

625
00:23:01,713 --> 00:23:03,883
And for the first time
in your life,

626
00:23:03,950 --> 00:23:05,551
you're just alone.

627
00:23:05,617 --> 00:23:09,221
- I never minded being alone.

628
00:23:09,288 --> 00:23:11,758
But then when
my senate race exploded,

629
00:23:11,824 --> 00:23:13,460
I looked around.

630
00:23:13,526 --> 00:23:18,765
I realized that I didn't have
any people in my life.

631
00:23:18,830 --> 00:23:21,299
Only employees.
- [chuckles]

632
00:23:21,366 --> 00:23:23,836
- And then when I bumped
into you in Chicago,

633
00:23:23,903 --> 00:23:26,806
I can't even say it was
a feeling I had missed.

634
00:23:28,007 --> 00:23:29,509
Because honestly,

635
00:23:29,576 --> 00:23:30,942
I don't know
if I'd ever felt it before.

636
00:23:31,009 --> 00:23:32,511
- I've never felt older

637
00:23:32,578 --> 00:23:34,180
than on dates
with younger women.

638
00:23:34,246 --> 00:23:35,615
- [laughs] Why?

639
00:23:35,682 --> 00:23:37,616
- I mean, seriously,
there's only so many times

640
00:23:37,683 --> 00:23:41,019
that you can say, "Wow,"
to a TikTok dance challenge,

00:23:41,086 --> 00:23:42,121
you know?

642
00:23:42,188 --> 00:23:43,655
- And most people our age

643
00:23:43,722 --> 00:23:45,857
are so terrified
of ending up alone

644
00:23:45,924 --> 00:23:48,426
that they just wanna
lock something down.

645
00:23:48,494 --> 00:23:50,028
- So why don't you?

646
00:23:50,096 --> 00:23:52,964
- I just got to a place where
my life can surprise me again.

647
00:23:53,031 --> 00:23:55,233
- I hate surprises.

648
00:23:55,300 --> 00:23:57,169
Always have.

649
00:23:57,236 --> 00:24:00,807
I like stability.

650
00:24:00,873 --> 00:24:04,644
I just don't feel like I should
have to apologize for that.

651
00:24:04,711 --> 00:24:07,113
- No.

652
00:24:07,179 --> 00:24:09,147
Look, in my experience,

653
00:24:09,214 --> 00:24:11,349
when you know what you want,

654
00:24:11,416 --> 00:24:13,318
you don't apologize for it.

655
00:24:13,384 --> 00:24:15,354
- Hmm.

656
00:24:15,421 --> 00:24:17,355
- You go for it.

657
00:24:17,423 --> 00:24:19,491
- Well,

658
00:24:19,558 --> 00:24:22,761
then it's lucky
that we found each other.

659
00:24:24,631 --> 00:24:27,333
- Do you know how lucky we are
to have found each other?

660
00:24:27,398 --> 00:24:29,335
Seriously.

661
00:24:29,401 --> 00:24:31,136
You're a unicorn.

662
00:24:31,202 --> 00:24:32,739
Most women, when I tell them

663
00:24:32,805 --> 00:24:35,173
I don't want to get married
again, they get so upset.

664
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:36,542
But you're over it.

665
00:24:36,608 --> 00:24:39,010
No rings, no strings.

666
00:24:40,579 --> 00:24:44,016
Next time, we don't even
have to get dinner.

667
00:24:44,083 --> 00:24:46,519
[laughs]
Buddy.

668
00:24:46,586 --> 00:24:49,655
- I want dinner, Vince.

669
00:24:49,721 --> 00:24:51,423
- Yeah.
Good.

670
00:24:51,490 --> 00:24:53,625
Okay, yeah, me too.

671
00:24:53,692 --> 00:24:55,161
- I want a relationship.

672
00:24:55,227 --> 00:24:57,864
I don't--I don't want to be
sleeping around forever.

673
00:24:57,930 --> 00:25:00,031
That sounds exhausting.
- Okay.

674
00:25:00,098 --> 00:25:01,333
- I want a partner.

675
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:02,934
I want to share my life
with someone.

676
00:25:03,001 --> 00:25:05,104
I just don't wanna
move into his house

677
00:25:05,171 --> 00:25:06,471
and become his wife

678
00:25:06,538 --> 00:25:08,240
and have my life
revolve around his.

679
00:25:08,307 --> 00:25:10,308
I mean, why is that so hard
for him to understand?

680
00:25:10,375 --> 00:25:11,678
- I'm sorry, who?

681
00:25:11,743 --> 00:25:14,145
- My ex who proposed to me
out of nowhere

682
00:25:14,212 --> 00:25:15,548
at someone else's wedding.

683
00:25:15,615 --> 00:25:17,683
- And you said no, or--

684
00:25:17,750 --> 00:25:19,151
why?

685
00:25:19,218 --> 00:25:21,820
Like, it sounds like
that's what you wanted,

686
00:25:21,887 --> 00:25:23,422
so why couldn't you
just get married?

687
00:25:23,489 --> 00:25:25,557
- Why couldn't he
just not get married?

688
00:25:25,625 --> 00:25:29,028
Why did he have to throw
everything away over semantics?

689
00:25:29,095 --> 00:25:30,762
Why does he get
to decide it's over

690
00:25:30,829 --> 00:25:32,731
just because he didn't get
what he wanted?

691
00:25:32,798 --> 00:25:34,634
- So you're still
in love with him?

692
00:25:34,701 --> 00:25:36,736
- Of course I'm still
in love with him!

693
00:25:36,802 --> 00:25:39,572
And I blew it--or he did
or we both did

694
00:25:39,638 --> 00:25:41,941
or it doesn't matter
because it's over,

695
00:25:42,008 --> 00:25:45,044
and he's moved on, and I'm in
Soho at some hot new restaurant

696
00:25:45,111 --> 00:25:48,213
with a dinner buddy
because I'm what?

697
00:25:48,279 --> 00:25:50,182
[inhales sharply]

698
00:25:50,249 --> 00:25:52,684
Undatable?
[cries]

699
00:25:54,519 --> 00:25:56,387
- I'm just gonna go use the...

700
00:25:56,454 --> 00:25:58,023
yeah.

00:26:20,412 --> 00:26:22,448
- * Ooh *

00:26:22,513 --> 00:26:24,983
* Ooh *

[cell phone buzzing]

710
00:26:37,496 --> 00:26:38,964
- Hi, this is Liza.

711
00:26:39,030 --> 00:26:41,968
- Hi, Liza, this is Ayanna
Williams returning your call.

712
00:26:42,034 --> 00:26:44,703
I was Quinn Tyler's consultant
in the California primary.

713
00:26:44,770 --> 00:26:46,372
- Right.
Hi, Ayanna.

714
00:26:46,438 --> 00:26:47,973
I am with her publisher.

715
00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:49,976
I was just calling
to fact-check something

716
00:26:50,041 --> 00:26:53,345
for her new book,
but I think we're all set.

717
00:26:53,412 --> 00:26:54,814
- Another book?

718
00:26:54,881 --> 00:26:56,548
At least I don't
have to read it.

719
00:26:56,615 --> 00:26:57,717
What is it about?

720
00:26:57,784 --> 00:26:59,786
- Failure.
It's called "The F Word."

721
00:26:59,852 --> 00:27:02,087
- That's smart.
It makes her look relatable.

722
00:27:02,153 --> 00:27:04,289
That was always one
of her biggest negatives.

723
00:27:04,355 --> 00:27:05,624
Not the only one though.

724
00:27:07,326 --> 00:27:08,928
- What did you do
for her campaign?

725
00:27:08,994 --> 00:27:10,096
- Oppo research.

726
00:27:10,162 --> 00:27:11,931
I was supposed
to expose the flaws

727
00:27:11,998 --> 00:27:13,565
in her candidacy
so she could fix that.

728
00:27:13,632 --> 00:27:17,703
- What were her flaws,
if I can ask?

729
00:27:17,769 --> 00:27:19,404
- People thought she was cold,

730
00:27:19,471 --> 00:27:21,272
a little condescending,
elitist.

731
00:27:21,339 --> 00:27:22,974
- Mmm.
 - But the biggest one--

732
00:27:23,041 --> 00:27:27,145
and this is so stupid and
patriarchal I could scream--

733
00:27:27,212 --> 00:27:28,780
was that she wasn't married.

734
00:27:28,847 --> 00:27:31,450
People couldn't
 reconcile that.

735
00:27:31,517 --> 00:27:33,051
- How was she
supposed to fix that?

736
00:27:33,118 --> 00:27:34,753
- I literally told her

737
00:27:34,820 --> 00:27:37,423
to find a guy with kind eyes
and a strong jawline

738
00:27:37,489 --> 00:27:38,891
to stand next her,

739
00:27:38,958 --> 00:27:40,425
and she would jump ten points
 in the polls.

740
00:27:40,491 --> 00:27:42,929
15 if the guy
had a normal-looking kid.

741
00:27:42,994 --> 00:27:43,962
- Really?

742
00:27:45,564 --> 00:27:48,233
And how did she take that?

743
00:27:48,299 --> 00:27:49,736
- Not well,

744
00:27:49,801 --> 00:27:52,038
but she ate it pretty hard
in that senate race.

745
00:27:52,104 --> 00:27:54,740
So if she runs again--
 when she runs again;

746
00:27:54,807 --> 00:27:56,541
there are already rumors
 she wants to be governor--

747
00:27:56,607 --> 00:27:58,477
I think she'd suck it up
and do it.

748
00:27:59,310 --> 00:28:01,713
- Do what?

749
00:28:01,780 --> 00:28:03,750
- Recruit a discount Kennedy

750
00:28:03,816 --> 00:28:07,053
to walk her across
 the finish line.

751
00:28:07,118 --> 00:28:08,755
- * Lies, lies *

752
00:28:08,820 --> 00:28:10,556
- Thanks for getting back
to me.

753
00:28:10,622 --> 00:28:11,857
- No problem.

754
00:28:11,923 --> 00:28:13,893
- * They taste like honey *

00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,428

* It's all just fun again *

* Yay *

00:28:27,906 --> 00:28:30,276

gone head-to-head with Quinn,

760
00:28:30,342 --> 00:28:32,144
trust me,
 there's no winning or losing.

There's just hangovers.

762

- Why does Josh
have all this baby stuff?

763
00:28:36,048 --> 00:28:37,348
- You still haven't told her
about your offspring?

764
00:28:37,415 --> 00:28:39,050
- It's not like
I haven't tried.

765
00:28:39,117 --> 00:28:40,551
- I just want
what's best for you.

766
00:28:41,653 --> 00:28:43,756
- You've got the wrong idea,
Liza.

767
00:28:43,823 --> 00:28:45,156
- You set me up.

768
00:28:46,192 --> 00:28:48,094
- I mean, lucky for us,
sex sells.

769
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:49,661
- Do you think
we can pull this off?

770
00:28:49,728 --> 00:28:51,130
- I have no idea.

771
00:28:51,197 --> 00:28:52,898
- If I would've
 said something sooner,

772
00:28:52,964 --> 00:28:54,400
would it have made
a difference?
