Original subtitles

- [Brian] Who do you think came up with the word?

- [Jason] Honeymoon?

- [Brian] Yeah.

- [Jason] I don't know.

- [Brian] I mean what does it even mean?

- [Jason] Maybe it's from the Old English.

- [Brian] You think?

- [Jason] Well they used to drink mead,

and mead was made from honey,

and two people in love moon over each other,

so maybe it referenced the period of time

when the newly married couple was still drunk on love.

- [Brian] Works for me.

- [Jason] Me too.

(instrumental music)

- Morning.

- Morning.

- [Both] Work.

(laughs)

- Don't forget, we've got everyone

coming over for dinner, 7:30.

- [David] I've got a quick site-visit at five,

and I want to stop by my place to pick up a few things.

- David...

- [David] I'll be back by 6:30, the latest.

- Better be.

Ow.

- How many times have I told you?

You can't use the same razor three days in a row.

- Shut up.

- [David] What?

- Nothing.

You know, sometimes you just nick yourself.

- Yeah, well you're more likely

to nick yourself using an old razor.

- I shaved before I met you,

and I've shaved since you're gone.

- Badly.

- Leave it alone.

Most important meal of the day.

- Absolutely.

- Where have I heard that before?

- Oh, I've got to get going.

I've got a meeting with a client.

I don't wanna be late.

- Just give me a second.

- The reservation is for eight o'clock.

I don't wanna be late again.

- I just need another minute.

- It's always just another minute.

- And you don't have to always have to get a gold star

for being 10 minutes early to everything.

- It's better to be 10 minutes early than 10 minutes late.

- Disheveled chic doesn't work for me.

- Disheveled chic?

- Forget it.

Let's go.

- [David] You ready?

- Yes.

I am ready...

to go.

Brenda confirm Jennifer's concert dates

and Luca you are working on that social

media blitz for Patty right?

Good morning Carla, late night?

Okay, let's go relate to the public

on behalf of our clients.

- Brian.

- Hm?

- You know when you interviewed me for this job,

I already had offers from three big firms.

- Yes.

- Including Carlton, Simmons and Davis.

- I know.

- It wasn't an easy decision.

- I'm sure they were offering a lot more money.

- [Luca] Oh yeah.

- I'm glad you took my offer.

- Me too.

The opportunities I'm having here.

I'm getting to take on responsibilities

I wouldn't have had at a big agency for years.

- You're getting those responsibilities

Because you're that good.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

- I guess I'd better get back to work.

- If you wanna keep this really great job.

- Right.

- And I want you to.

- So do I.

- Flirting with employees, never a good idea.

- I wasn't flirting.

If there was any flirting going on, it was from him.

- You're always flirting.

Hell you even flirt with me.

It's one of the things I love about you.

But we are living in a me too world, work husband.

Don't set us up for a lawsuit.

- I'll be right back with the drinks.

- We'll be right here.

- Really?

You gotta flirt with the waiter?

- It's harmless.

- It makes me feel, you know, forget it, forget it.

- You're the one I'm going home with.

- Yeah well make sure Adam's clear about that.

- He's not interested in an old man like me.

He's just working the tip.

And you flirt too, all the time.

- Not as much as you do.

- You're gonna argue degrees of flirting?

- That wasn't too long, was it?

Maker's Mark neat.

Grey Goose martini, dirty.

- Thank you.

- You ready to order?

- Not yet, we'll let you know.

- There's something between flirting and rude.

- Have you talked to Carlton about

being made partner yet?

- It's not up for discussion.

- Then it's time for you to walk.

(Brian sighs)

You bring in more business to that office

than any of the partners.

Take the leap, open up your own boutique firm.

I know it's scary.

You think it wasn't scary when I left Morris

to open up my own literary agency?

But my top clients came with me and so will yours.

- Maybe.

- You're gonna do it at some point.

Why not now?

- I'm not sure if I'm ready.

- You're never gonna be ready.

You just have to do it.

- Don't worry, I waited too long

to open my own agency to screw it up.

- Good.

We're looking forward to tonight.

- Oh, so are we.

(laughs)

- It's terrific that you finally decided

to have your nearest and dearest meet each other.

- Yeah it's also nerve wracking.

- Cheers guys.

- Cheers.

- David's my best friend.

I'm not saying I'm not happy for them.

I am.

- We all are.

- I'm just saying, I'd never had any interest

in conforming to the hetero-norm of coupling.

- Careful, a couple of us here are truly hetero-norm.

- Well hetero anyway.

We're still working on the norm.

(laughing)

- I can't believe I'm at a party with Lisa Hansen.

Lisa Hansen.

I'm like her biggest fan.

- Of course you are.

- When I saw her in Mem'rable,

it was the most life changing experience I ever had.

- At least until you hit puberty.

- Columbia!

- Yeah.

- I am also Columbia, but not the university.

It was a joke.

- Hi, Mark Perkins.

Peter's husband.

- Clifford Gillespie.

- You are both teachers.

He is with the Columbia University.

- Then he's not a teacher, he's a professor.

- [Sofia] There is a difference?

- Academia has a hierarchy.

- Self-imposed.

- Perhaps, but there's also a public perception.

Like that teachers only work half days

and have a third of the year off.

- Or the public perception that college

professors are all highly paid.

- And you're not?

- It depends on what department you're in.

African-American Lit, nowhere near

the top of the food chain.

- So how long have you and Clifford been together?

- Three years.

And I'd already graduated college when I saw Mem'rable.

- Oh.

- Where do you teach?

- Middle school English.

Public school.

- Good for you.

- Everything okay?

- Yes yes.

Are you having a good time?

- David's got nice friends.

Frank's a little intense, but.

- You and your husband are both named Paul?

Fascinating.

- Frank, play nice.

- It's not like we planned it.

Neither one of us exclusively dated men named Paul.

- Now that would have been interesting.

(laughing)

- So you work for Google?

- Yeah.

- So you understand all that tech stuff?

- Oh if you ever need any help, just let me know.

- My own personal tech support,

I am absolutely gonna do that.

(laughing)

(glass chiming)

- Everybody.

Everybody, may I have your attention?

To Brian and David.

- [All] Cheers.

- [Man] Congratulations.

- All in all, I think that went well.

- Yeah.

- Friends are important.

- They sure are.

- What's going on?

- Nothing.

(laughs)

- When am I gonna get to meet your friends?

- I don't know.

One of these days.

- Are you afraid they won't like me?

- How could they not?

(laughs)

- Are you afraid I won't like them?

- We'll do it.

One of these days.

- I mean don't get me wrong, being in this little private

Jason and Brian bubble has been great.

It's really let us get to know each other.

But I'm ready to break out.

Expand it.

Are you?

- Yeah.

Let's leave these for the morning, shall we?

- I think that's a good idea.
