- I can't believe you dragged us back to "mommy and me".
- No, no, no, this is not "mommy and me".
This is val's pals, tm.
The kids are free to join, but this is really about the pals.
- Last I checked, I didn't have to pay for my pals.
- Yeah, val, you've somehow monetized friendship.
- I'm a very good friend.
- Yeah, I'm gonna go. - Yeah.

Just for the pals... Husband swap,

It's the big one!

Very loud. (booming rhythmic bass)

'cause I thought you wouldn't come,
And the whole book cover thing, ancient history.
We can laugh about it now, you know what I mean?
She-she probably doesn't even remember, it's the truth.
Val: Sloane, I've heard so much about you!
- Hey, bestseller.
- Okay, so she remembered, but listen,
Just keep it together for val, right?
Anne? Anne?
- So, here we go.
We have aromatherapy, deep tissue,
And thai massage. - You hear that?
Maybe someone can finally massage the bitch out of you.

I know you guys are co-workers, but she sucks, dude.
She just says whatever she's thinking. It's a lot.

Okay? And whatever birthday val is having.

Truth be told, I don't totally know how to act
Around sloane today, either. - What do you mean?
I thought you guys were cool now.

Conflict of interest situation. Hmm.
- What?
- Uh, let's just say there was like, a fire,
And I put out the fire, it's gone.
And I don't know if I should tell her
About the fire that I put out.
- I genuinely hate your analogies.
- Yeah. - If there's no fire,
Why sound the alarm? - Right. Exactly.
I'm not gonna tell her. - Great. Okay.
Let's go get pretzeled by some russians.

Remember, this body is a wonderland.

But you have beautiful shoulders.
- Yeah, yeah, just get the job done.

- Can you focus on my neck, that's where I hold
All my tension. Masseur: Mm-hmm.
- Speaking of tension, did you see the look
On anne's face when you walked up?
What got a bee in her bonnet?
- Don't get me wrong, I love me a sour bitch,
But I prefer the fun kind.
Unfortunately, she never holds back, you know?
- Yeah, I know.
- You have absolutely incredible skin elasticity.
It's-it's like touching a newborn.
- So I've been told.

Masseur: Ooh! And your arms, they're so supple.

In a desperate attempt to hang on to any semblance of youth.
