[Gia] Back in high school,
Lina falls in love with a boy.
Only she maintains he was never, ever a boy.
He was born a god.
In a matter of weeks,
she gets to know everything about him.
"Man, if guys only knew,"
she jokes to her best friend Jennifer,
"how much we think about them."
Lina's always honest about things like that.
But Jennifer isn't willing to admit
she's ever done anything similar.
Like finding out every single thing about someone
to whom you have never spoken.
Phone number by heart.
And in two weeks, you've dialled
the first six numbers about a thousand times.
And your heart explodes right before the seventh number.
Your finger pulses on it,
but you never, ever press it.
[gasps]
[teenage Lina] Aidan, I watched that show
you told me about, Star Search.
Yeah.
[teenage Lina] There was this one girl on it.
She sang "Crazy."
Only...
she did it very fast-like.
It was nice.
But...
- But? - I don't know.
I-I would've done it...
regular.
You got a real nice voice, you know that?
Maybe you could get on there.
[teenage Lina] You know when you're listening
to a song and it feels like it's about one person?
Every song, I guess, is about that person.
Hmm. [chuckles]

Hi.

[Lina] Yeah, Mom.
See you guys there.
Okay.
[indistinct chatter]
That looks like a month of gymnastics.
This was on clearance.
- Ross? - Uh, Macy's.
Fancy.
I spoke to Stacey Matthews.
Goddamn it.
She said you were sleeping in the parking lot at school.
In your car?
No, I was not sleeping. She's...
God, I was just thinking.
Have anything to do with your... episode?
Is that what Ed said?
Jesus Christ. You know, what are you, spying on my entire life?
[Rosemary] Watch your mouth.
She said "goddamn it."
'Cause I put salt in my goddamn coffee.
He's your husband. He's just worried about you.
And I would appreciate if y'all wouldn't talk to my husband
about my issues.
So, y'all are having issues.
You know what? I'm considering things.
I'm being interested in exploring things
and feelings.
Like maybe we shouldn't always--
Okay, enough with your feelings, Leen.
You got enough feelings to clog a toilet.
Did y'all hear about this senator guy?
[Randy] Oh, yeah. What's his name?
I heard Jim going on about him.
- Richard something? - Mourdock.
If he knows how to cook eggs over easy,
- he's got my vote. - What about him?
Apparently, they say he might lose now.
To the Democrat.
'Cause he was saying...
...if you get pregnant from...
it's 'cause God intended it.
What's-- From what? I missed the word.
- Rape. - [Rosemary] That's disgusting.
Don't talk with your mouth full.
So, sorry, he's saying being raped
is all part of God's plan?
[Rosemary] Oh, finally.
[waitress] Sorry about that, ma'am.
Yeah, sorry-schmorry.
No, he's saying if you's raped
and you get pregnant, you still shouldn't have an abortion
because the baby was God's plan.
Missy, no one's having no abortion.
So if I was raped by some animal,
I could not have an abortion?
[Randy] Can we talk about something else?
- [sighs] - I get about 18 minutes a week
away from Todd and the little monsters.
Sometimes they make me wish
I wasn't such a good Christian woman, if you know what I mean.
- Randy. - [Randy] Stop.
I'm joking.
We all know Lina's the only one of us
that'd ever have an abortion.
Danica Tompkins had one.
That's... What are you doing?
Missy, just shut up.
That baby had problems, and you know that.
[Rosemary] That baby was a child of God.
- She had no right. - Mom, it could've killed her.
[Randy] See?
Oh, and I would not...
have one.
[sighing]
[Dr. Henry] So, tell me.
[Lina] Mm-hmm?
- What were you doing? - [Lina] When?
When you called the ambulance.
Oh. I wasn't doing anything.
- [laughs] - Oh, you were just sitting there
staring at the wall?
N-No. I, uh, was, uh, cleaning.
My eldest had spilled his OJ, and I was cleaning it up.
Hmm.
Okay.
Oh, and I also, um...
I was looking up someone from my past on Facebook.
[Dr. Henry] Mm-hmm. Ah.
Yeah. But that didn't cause me any panic.
Well, why would it?
How did it make you feel seeing this person?
He. It's a he.
- [Dr Henry] Well, duh. - [both laugh]
I felt, I felt...
...alive.
Hmm.
Ooh, but it's not right and I know it's not.
Plus the fact, okay, so his wife is like a supermodel.
I made the mistake of clicking on her profile--
[Dr. Henry] Shh.
- So, two things. - Yeah.
One, best thing for anxiety is...
- Breathing. - Exercise.
- Exercise. Running.
Lifting. Fornicating.
Okay? And two, but a very close number two, is...
talking.
Okay? So, I got an idea.
It's a woman's group.
A group. [clears throat]
Sort of, yeah.
Um, for what?
For women, sweetheart.
[laughs]
No, you know, you can talk about your life.
Have people there that'll listen.
Sounds like something new. Sounds like something special.
Sounds like something women don't usually have.
- Yeah. Sure. - Yeah.
Cool. And how much does it cost?
[laughs] Sweetheart. It's free, honey.
It's like a research group, okay?
All it'll cost you is a little bit of time and some honesty.
And, baby, you get what you pay for.
All right?
Okay.
Oh, gosh.
- [Dr. Henry] But, honey? - Yeah?
If looking up your old flame on Facebook were a crime,
whole world would be in jail.
[laughs]
[Dr. Henry] Hell, I'd be serving two life sentences.
[laughs] Yeah.
[Gia] She realised that for years
she had been forcing compensation.
Every time Ed ignored her in bed,
she'd wake up in the morning
and ask him to fix something in the house.
It was the same thing her mother did to her father.
It was a way to make up for not being loved enough.
Looks like Sara-Beth is getting married.
And she's having this bachelorette party
and the whole nine.
I mean, we haven't spoken in years,
but we were so, so close in school.
Looks like it's in Indy, so...
God, can you imagine? Ryan's just about seven,
and in all those years,
I've never spent one night away from him.
Isn't that funny?
[Ed chuckles] What's funny...
is "bachelorette" isn't even a real word.
It is, too.
What do they do?
Get together and rag on their husbands?
[Ed chuckles]

Hmm?

I've been very busy

Remember, it's the chocolate chip.

You know, boric acid is great for that.
Well, I'll tell you one thing. Dicks also smell.

They don't know how to take care of it,
but dicks do not stink nearly as bad as balls do.

[overlapping goodbyes]
- I still think he's so hot. - Bye, balls.
[Lizzie] Oh, wait, you guys,
I've got something freaky that happened to me last week.
- Oh. - [nervous laughter]
So, me and Jeff, you know, the new guy,
we're going at it, and he asks
what my last boyfriend's name was, so I just tell him.
[Gia] Um, Kent, right?
[Lizzie] Yep, Kent.
So, then he says, "Did Kent
like it when he fucked that fat pussy?"
- [gasping] - [groaning]
Uh, literally as the only lesbian in here, no, thank you.
-"Fat pussy"? Come on, girl. - [woman] No.
- [laughter] - We don't like that.
I don't know what-what came over me.
I just turned into a whore.
[Lina] What?
What did you say?
I said, "Fuck yeah, he liked it."
And then I said,
"And he liked to come in it, too."
And then he just finishes right there.
- [laughing] - [groaning]
[Francine] Did you?
- Of course not. - [Francine] Of course not.
Did you like it?
Um, I don't... I guess. Ugh.
It was confusing, like...
Like, what was that?
Yeah. It's cuckolding.
- [woman] What? - It's a thing.
Some guys like to watch their girlfriends fuck other men.
And some just like to hear about it?
Sounds about right.
Apparently. [laughs]
Wait, wait, wait, so hold on a second.
Did you like it?
Why does he get to just say that
without even asking first?
I get it, I guess. I get it. And I don't like it.
[laughter]
[Lizzie] You know, it made me,
like, really lubricated, but, like...
does that... does that mean, am I...
am I disgusting?
I mean, I didn't like it,
but clearly, my "fat pussy" did.
I mean, the pussy wants what it wants.
- [laughter] - Exactly.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
[Gia] Lina? [laughs]
[laughs] Yes?
Are you married?
- [Lina] Yes. - Kids?
- I have two, yep. - [Gia] Nice.
Your husband loves to watch you with other guys, right?
[laughing] No. My husband, no.
No, he... he, uh...
he actually said that kissing me gives him the heebie-jeebies
the way wet wool does, so...
[Cathy] That fucker.
He called you "wet wool"?
Yeah. Yes.
- Yeah. - [Barbara] Is he sick?
[Lina laughs]
How did that feel for you?
Um...
James Bond...
[laughs]
Um... sorry.
[laughter]
Bye. [laughs]
I was reading this
waiting for my appointment the other day.
I mean, it's a James Bond story,
which, um, I just thought it was gonna
take me out of my own head.
It ended up just exactly being about my marriage.
[Gia] Yeah, it's Quantum of Solace.
Yeah.
[laughs] Yeah.
How did you know that?
My dad, actually, he... he loved that story, too.
He-he would read it all the time,
and he's not the kind of dude who likes short stories.
Tell them.
[Lina] Um, well...
it's called Quantum of Solace.
And it's, uh, the James Bond...
Um, Ian Fleming writes about this law he created
called the Quantum of Solace.
And, basically, it's-- all our marriages will be fine
as we long as we treat each other with some basic humanity.
It's when we start being cruel,
like when we start, um,
treating each other like we don't care
if the other person... is dead.
That's, uh, when we've crossed over into the end of times.
Like in your marriage or the world.
When one person just...
You know, there's really no coming back from that.
And, yeah, that's me and Ed.
That's... We're...
Oof, no, it's Ed.
Damn.
Okay, he hasn't touched me in three months.
It'll be three months in 17 days.
- I have a calendar. - [woman] That's awful.
[Lina] And we're not...
I-I clean the urine off the seat and I pack him a lunch to go.
- Same as I do for the kids. - [others groaning]
He takes out the trash.
He, uh, uh, doesn't hit me.
He pays the bills.
But he does not touch me.
And I'm not... I mean, he doesn't...
like, he doesn't "touch me."
- Yeah. - [Barbara] That's a low bar.
In fact, I-I don't know if we've ever
truly kissed.
- [woman] Get out of here. - [woman 2] What?
- What? - Damn.
[Gia] Kissing is...
It's important.

[Karen] Damn.
- Are you gonna meet up? - Oh, I...
Uh...
I don't know.
I have mixed feelings about being dishonest with Ed,
'cause I'll tell y'all this, though, that S.O.B.
has 17 days left to touch me or I am leaving.
[Karen] Yes.
On the nose?
It's been too long already.
On the nose.
- 17 days and I'm done. - 17 days. Done.
- [Lina] Yeah. - [Barbara] Good. Good.
Make sure that you get
the e-vite if you want.
- Get you on there. - Yeah, of course.
The other thing about Jeff is he loves it when I
- put my finger in his butt. - Okay.
But do you think that means he's a little gay?
- No, no, no, you're fine. - Are you sure?
- I promise, yeah, you're good. - 'Cause I just--
- Don't worry. It's normal. Yeah. - Okay.

Oh, my God.
And you just, like...
[sighs]
You just get lost.
And, you know,
I spent my whole life,
like, worried about what God would think.
And there I was in a hotel bed with a man who's...
not my husband, and...
I felt that God...
Like, this is what it's all about.
And there was this moment where, um...
I was about to give up on him and...
he Facebooks me in that exact second.
I mean, it was like...
It was like...
God compelled him to do it.
Do you think you're, um...
you know...
comporting yourself the way a mother should?
[Delia] I thought you'd leave your husband first.
[Barbara] Yeah, you're leaving him so soon.
- Why cheat? - [Lizzie] Yeah.
Okay, I just want you to know-- Wait.
I'm not-- I wasn't in any pain that night.
And, like, my whole life is pain.
I've-- This--
Okay, I have pain in my joints
and I have pain inside,
but th-- I have pain all over me and...
I'm not in any pain when I'm with that man, and...
Yeah, so, you can all judge me. You can judge me.
Until you've felt what I felt, I really don't give a flying...
fuck what y'all think.
[others gasping]
What the fuck is this stupid group anyway?
- [murmuring] - [Gia] It's all right.
[sniffles]
Oh, my God.
Hi, I'm so, so sorry. It's my fault.
I'm the one who started that fucking thing.
Okay, well, I got to get home, so thank you--
Can I, um...?
Can I maybe get a-a ride?
I-I don't have a car anymore.
Um...
Uh...
Um, sure.
Thank you.
Oh, sorry.
I'm sorry. Thank you.
[sighs] You know they're just being jealous dicks in there.
Yeah, I don't really want-- It's just...
Yeah. Where you going?
Uh... I need to eat, so...
And I want beer. [laughs]
Is there anywhere I can get wings and beer?
Um, Kilroy's has beer and wings, probably.
Great. Kilroy's.
You want to go to Kilroy's with me?
- Who are you? - I'm...
You don't really seem like a therapist to me.
Oh. Yeah. Well...
I am honestly the farthest thing
from a fucking therapist that I can imagine.
[both laugh]
Lina, can I ask you a question?
How many guys have you slept with?
Oh, um, four.
- Five now, actually, so... - [Gia laughs]
You?
Ten.
Fifteen.
Huh?
Seventeen.
Holy crap. Whoa.
[both laughing]
- I'm sorry. - It's not that many.
[laughter]
I just...
No, it's that, um, you just don't seem...
- Like a whore? - No. No, no.
- No, I was not gonna say that. - You can totally say that.
I would never, ever, ever call you that, ever.
Ever.
I was gonna say you seem smart.
[chuckles]
[exhales] Sorry.
No.
Um...
I'm just-- I'm just gonna be real with you.
For a second. I'm in, like, in a...
a pretty effed-up place in my life right now.
And, um...
There's just, like, some really, really bad shit going on.
But mostly I'm...
I'm about to get sued.
Yeah, by a big publisher for
stealing their money and not writing a book and...
Yeah.
I guess I just need, like, a friend.
And I really need to find someone to write about.
What?
Lina. The way that you think about love
and talk about love
and the way that you want love,
it's like the most beautiful thing in the whole world.
- [Lina chuckles] - No, I mean it,
and I just want to listen to you for a while.
I just...
Like hang out with me? [laughs]
- Yeah. - [both laughing]
Yeah, like... Like hang out or...
I just... Like, what if there was a girl on the other side
of the planet who reads about you
and who's like, "Oh, my God, that's exactly how I feel."
And for, like, two minutes in her fucking life,
she doesn't feel alone anymore.
Like Quantum of Solace.
I mean...
It's not quite really like that.
Some great love story with Aidan.
I mean, it's more like...
I mean, I'm reeling him in.
Like, I am like...
[Gia chuckles]
It's like-- It's shameful and crazy.
Oh, no, no, it's not crazy.
I don't think it is either.
I just know that's what other people think so sometimes
I just say what I think other people want me to say.
Oh, my God, I do the same thing.
Why do we do that?
[laughs] I don't know.
[both chuckling]
[Gia chuckles]
Actually, I think nothing you do for love is crazy.
Yeah.
Fuck.
What?
Oh, can I just buy you a beer? Please let me buy you a beer.
No, I have to go home, but I, uh...
maybe I could get a babysitter for next week?
Yeah. Yes. One thousand percent.
I mean, like...
I live here now, so any time you want to hang out...
What? You live here?
Yeah.
Oh, God, why?
Because of you.
Because I have been trying to find you.
