Seriously, who are you?
I'm in the air force.
When I get back, I'm coming for you, Vargas.
Police officer: You're being charged with driving a vehicle
while under the influence of alcohol.
Cactibear 2 is firing me?
Navid: The production's coming after you
for what the insurance company had to pay out.
There's an opening on "Celebrity Halfway House."
I think you should take it.
I'm here to pay my debt, that's it.
Andrea: Walk out that door, you're in breach of contract.
It's your call.
Scott: Nick!
You'll do a line with me, huh, buddy?
Those guys out there make me feel like
some kind of drug addict.
Oh, I...
I like you. I like you too, man,
but I'm not interested in any of the demons
that you're bringing in with you.
You figure out how to cut them loose
and you give me call.
But I would say to start with whoever that Tariq person is.
Connor: Who is that? Eddie: I don't know.
She's been there most of the day.
Seriously, who are you?
I'm your sister.
My sister?
I don't...
I was a little smaller the last time you saw me.
Like about... This size.
I... I grew.
Yeah, you did.
I'm, I'm sorry, this is just, really...
This is a lot to process all at once.
I know.
I'm sorry to just blindside you with this,
but I didn't know how else to do it.
So, what, do you, do you live here in L.A.?
Oh no, I live in Boise, Idaho?
It's where mom moved us after...
Right. So...
Do you all still live there?
No, Josh moved back to Australia
to "find himself."
I don't really speak to him much anymore,
and mom...
What?
I'm sorry. She was sick.
When?
About two years ago.
I wanted to tell you when it happened,
but I couldn't find you.
(Emotional) Um...
What?
I just have a lot of questions.
So ask me.
What do you wanna know?
Everything. I wanna know everything.
Okay, well, everything's a lot.
(Laughs) Where should I start?
Uh... do you...
Do you... Do you maybe wanna...
Do you wanna go and talk in my room?
Sure.
I think we're gonna need a couple of drinks for this.
Oh, I don't drink.
I do.
Okay.

Unbelievable. The man's an artist.

Yeah, it's the worst.
What? Are you insane? No, I'm gonna stay.

It's nice to meet you, Abby.
Oh, that's crazy.
I didn't know you had a sister.
We haven't seen each other since I was a baby.

(Door slams shut)
Abby.
Hey...
I need to talk to you about Tariq.
What's wrong? Is Tariq okay?
When's the last time you talked to him?
Right before he left.
One of his parents was sick or something.
Why?
Something happened.
I need your help.
What's going on?
(Sighs heavily)
I'm recording a new song
and one of my background singers pulled out
at the last minute.
What?
Tariq thought you might wanna fill in for her.
That's what you came here to tell me?
Yeah.
Oh! Oh my God, I thought...
You really have to learn how to deliver good news
because...
Yes, I'd love to. That'd be amazing, actually!
Um, when would you need me?
How 'bout now?
Raquel: I never said I wouldn't do commercials.
I said I wouldn't do creatively unfulfilling commercials.
Navid: You're not listening to me: No one wants to see you.
Raquel: Okay. Well, what about voice work?
Navid: Raquel...
Raquel: Dreamworks is doing that movie with the lazy hummingbird thing.
You got fired from Cactibear.
You walked out of Celebrity Halfway House.
You're not bendable,
which means no one can insure you,
which means no one can hire you.
Now, in light of this, I'm afraid-
don't do this.
I can't represent you anymore.
Raquel: Navid, please.
You're the only one on my side right now.
Navid: I'm sorry, Raquel.

Are you putting it in your body?

but you're not.
Everybody knows Chris and Ryan completely rewrite

You're always late, you're always drunk,
you look like a muppet without its fur,

No offense.
Well, who says you gotta end up here?
This doesn't have to be the end of the line.
You just seem like you need a reset.
A reset?
Yeah. Listen, a year ago,
I was a civil servant in Lincoln Heights,
married to someone I didn't love,
living a life I didn't want.
So I quit my job, I left my wife,
and I put every dollar I had...
And actually a bunch that I didn't...
Into opening this restaurant.
I didn't like the game I was playing,
so I hit the reset button.
Hmm. So I guess I just have to find out

No, but...
Then how badly can you have screwed up?
You turned your ringer off. Are you gonna do that again?
No. But it's not just that...
I lost track of time completely
when I was with you today.
I can't be selfish.
He's my responsibility.
You can't make every second about Simon,
otherwise you're gonna end up resenting him,
and that's not good for anyone.
You are the opposite of selfish.
You are...
Incredible.
The opposite of selfish is altruistic...
Or unselfish.
All I'm saying is you have to cut yourself some slack.
What?
I just wish one of us had our own room.
I'm on it.

Charlotte: Oh my gosh, is that how you take off makeup?
Connor: Oh, you know better?
Well, yeah, actually.
I kind of wear it sometimes, so...
Connor: Be my guest.
(Knock at the door)
Connor: It's open.
A.D.: Stepping up. This just came for you.
Connor: Thank you.
It's DNA results.
That was fast.
Yeah, I paid for them to um... expedite it.
Well, aren't you gonna open it?
I'm sorry... (Sighs)
It looks like you're stuck with me.
(Super-excited) Are you kidding me?!
(Charlotte screams)
Connor: I can't believe this!
I have a sister! I have a family!
What do you want? Can I...
I wanna do something for you...
Anything! Come on!
You could buy me dinner.
There's gotta be something. Anything you want.
No, I have everything I need.
There's actually...
There's something that I wanna do for you.
Really? What?
You're such a remarkable person.
You have so much potential
and it breaks my heart
to think that you're not living your ideal life.
I wanna help you do that.
How?
I'm with the church of scienetics.
Dita: Sorry. I didn't have any ice.
No problem. Thanks, Dita.
So...You just punched him? Why?
He called me a mean name.
So? He's always calling you mean stuff.
How was this any different?
It doesn't matter. I'm finished.
Well, it could be worse.
How? I punched my boss in the face.
Yeah, but his nose bone could've gone into his brain
and killed him.
I have no job, no prospects,
no one thinks I'm funny,
and now a very influential comedian
believes that I am an avid and careless cocaine user.
Hey... Scott could sue me.
I could go to prison.
I could get violated by a lifer
who happens to like my...
Listen to me,
because I'm only gonna say this once:
You're funny, you're smart,
and you deserved that job...
Almost as much as I did.
You have a home,
you have cash in your pocket,
and you have me.
So hold still, dumbass.

Where's thing 1?
Kevin: We're not talking right now.
Lovers quarrel?
He's mad at me. I lost Ellen Page.

It's over, okay? So go ahead, gloat.

Hello, I'm Raquel.
Beth.
The movie, let's make it.
Cam: What, now?
Yeah.
Cam: You have half a million dollars?
Raquel: No. But let's shoot it anyway.
We'll do it guerrilla-style...
We'll use what we have, and we'll steal what we don't.
Kevin: And where are we supposed to find
a luxury high-rise apartment
that we can shoot in for free?
What about a crappy low-rise motel?
The roof, 'kay? Ten minutes.
We'll shoot the paper airplane dream.
Okay? Here. Let's go.
Nice to meet you.
Make it 20 minutes.
Wanna help me make a movie?
Yeah, in twenty minutes.
