You said you weren't going to drink tonight anyways.
- We can go get something else. - We already rang the doorbell.
- Are you okay? - Yeah, I'm fine.
[door opening]
- Hey! - Hi!
Welcome.
[soft piano music]
[door closing]
[male guest] Thanks for having us.
[homeowner] Of course.
Oh, your place is amazing,
Where did you get all this art?
- We just got back from India. - Really?
It's beautiful, isn't it?
The rest is from Africa, Bali.
- Some pieces from China. - Mark, look at this stuff.

Hi!

I'll have whiskey.
Um... I'll... I'm going to hold off for now.
Come on. Have a drink.
I have this scotch. We just got back from Scotland.
Small batch. Only a couple of hundred bottles.
I don't even want to tell you how much we paid for it.
- How much? - $100 a bottle.

I'll just have some wine if that's okay.
Okay, coming right up.
Hmm.

[female guest] We got you something else.
You didn't have to!
Oh!
It's very nice. Thank you.
Here we go.
Look at what Beth and Mark brought us.
Oh.
Very cool.
Thank you.
We should put it up.
Yeah, let's find a spot.
How are the drinks?
The whiskey's good. Peaty.
Very peaty.
That is a Chateau Pontet-Canet.
- I hope you like Bordeaux. - [Mark] Yeah, I love it.
- You do? - Yeah, the city and the wine.
Have you been?
[Mark] Yeah, actually, when I was studying in college...
- I've got a new job. - Oh, you left the store.
- Her boss was a creep. - It's complicated.
[Mark] Should you...
[Beth] Mark thinks I drink too much.
What the hell? I just got a new job.
[Mark] What the hell?
[Beth] This is the one this is the one from China.
[Mark] Yeah, look at the little gold flecks underneath.
Is there something? It looks like
- there's something in there. - There's like a hinge here.
- I should like... Careful. - I don't want to break it.

Jesus, they have cable and Apple TV.
[Mark] How do they watch it. None of the furniture faces...
What do you think?
- How's dinner coming? - [Beth] What is for dinner?
I thought you'd never ask.
Should I tell them?
I have prepared an exquisite meal for you this evening?
Organic pork tenderloin with chartreuse, compressed peaches,
dry melted leeks, chanterelle mushrooms with golden fig
and seared foie gras with lavender pork reduction
of the chef's own divining.
Wow.
Dave knows a lot about food now.
- He's an excellent cook. - Chef.
Excellent chef. You should see his knives.
You know, I really should have told you beforehand,
but I'm not eating gluten now.
- You're not? - I hope that's okay.
When did you stop eating gluten?
This morning.
You had a pastry for breakfast.
I know after that I did not feel well.
I can put the bread on the side.

- Oh, that must be Charlie. - I'll get it.
Hi, can I help you?
Yeah, I'm here for the party.
Yeah... You must be one of Annie's friends.
Yeah. Annie, I am a friend of Annie.
[Dave] Yeah, of course. Come in. Sorry about that.
I'll be fine, one cheat day won't kill me.
It's your first day.
Annie's on her way, right babe?
Oh yeah, yeah. Are you a friend?
- I'm a friend of Annie's. - Irene.
- [stranger] Paul. - Mark.
- Paul. - [Beth] Beth.
Paul.
- Oh, and I'm Dave. - I'm Paul.
- I'm a friend of Annie's. - Great.
She's running behind. She'll be here soon.
Paul, can I get you a drink?
I might have a beer in the fridge?
- Well, how about some wine? - Yeah. Wine, sure.
- I have red wine. - Just red?
Oh, we have some white too.
Oh, I meant cabernet, merlot?
Sorry. Actually, it's a Bordeaux.
It's very tasty.
- Well, I'll try some of that. - Great. Anybody else?
I'll give you a hand.
Please.
So, Paul, what is it that you do?
I'm an electrician.
[Beth] Oh, what's that like?
I like it, all right.
It's actually very trendy right now.
I'm writing a piece about how people are returning
to more hands on work.
How did you get into that?
So glad we found another couple who do this kind of thing with.
You know, it's hard to find the right kind of people.
Oh yeah, yeah.
Hey, I hope Beth can eat everything.
Oh, don't worry about that.
She'll have a new diet by the time we're done in here.
- How are you guys, by the way? - You know, we are...
We're a lot better lately.
- [Dave] Oh yeah? - Yeah.
We started couples counseling.
Well, you seem a lot happier.
[Mark] How's your work going?
Let me show you my knives.
Uh... yeah.
- Oh yeah. - Got a full set.
Paring, peeling, cheese, bread,
fillet, carving, cleaver.
[laughing]
- Cuts right through the bone. - [Mark] Yeah, wow.
Yeah, cool stuff.
I'm upgrading, though.
We know this place on Randolph,
where all the shots in Chicago get their knives.
Go ahead, take it up.
Feel the blade. Go ahead.
- Just side to side sharp, huh? - [Mark] Yeah, very sharp.
It's the same brand Grant Achatz uses, Global.
- Oh, wow, the guy from... - Alinea, Next.
Yeah, he's a fucking legend.
Told you it's sharp.
Were you always passionate about electricity?
I never thought about it that way.
Do you own your own business or...?
Yeah, I have a small company.
I have a few guys who work for me. My son helps out.
Okay, so you're an entrepreneur.
Paul, here you go.
That is a Chateau Pontet-Canet.
Hmm. It's good.
- It is, isn't it? - Yeah.
Mark, Paul's an electrician.
Oh, well, yeah. I'm... half Hispanic, so.
Oh, nice.
We can all use another drink. Hmm.
[Mark] I have this new app that makes for organizing
calls so much easier.
Oh, Dave is addicted to podcasts.
I do spend a lot of time in the kitchen.
What's the one we had on in the car?
- Serial? - No.
Oh, Serial is fucking amazing, though.
How have you guys not heard of that?
- It's almost as good as TV. - Wow.
I just started listening to this new one. It is so funny.
- Which one? - It's these two guys,
and they do this social experiment where they
- stop masturbating for a year. - Mark!
What about you, Paul? Do you listen to a podcast?
Yeah, no, I like to listen to podcasts.
Hmm. Like what?
History mostly. I like Hardcore History.
Oh, I've heard that was good.
And politics, I like to listen to political podcasts.
- Oh, are you like... - Oh, I almost forgot.
Paul, I hope you're hungry because I have prepared
an exquisite meal for, well, for everyone this evening.
Organic pork tenderloin locally sourced
and responsibly raised, of course, chartreuse
compressed peaches, dry melted leeks,
chanterelle mushrooms resting on
an ethereal bed of golden figs,
seared foie gras and a lavender pork reduction
of the chef's own divining.
It's a meal that moves the earth when you eat it.
To paraphrase Hemingway in For Whom the Bell Tolls.
- Robert and Maria. - Yes! He gets it!
You get it.
Yeah, they made love and the earth moved.
Oh, did you, did you read that in college?
No, just for myself.
Have you read anything good lately?
Yeah, I just finished The Brothers Karamazov.
I love the Brothers Karamazov.
Russian stuff depresses me.
Wasn't there a show based on that?
I don't think so.
No, it's a novel by Dostoevsky.
What am I thinking of? The Russian show you were watching?
The Americans?
Oh my God. The finale.
I'm sorry.
I don't like reading subtitles.
[Dave] She jumps ahead of me.
- He travels for work. - You're in logistics, right?
That's not who I am.
Oh, what about, have you guys seen the show Master of None.
- [Mark] That's the one with... - Aziz Ansari.
- [Dave] He's great. - God, have you seen it?
[Beth] I've heard that it was great. But then
Aziz became problematic.
So true. I mean, there's so many good shows
on TV these days.
- I know! - It's like... It's...

[doorbell ringing]
Excuse me.
- [Dave] Hey, stranger. - Hi!
- [Dave] How are you? - Good, good.
- You look great. - Oh yeah, you too.
I'm actually working on a piece about
non-traditional roles in child rearing.
Oh, you mean like a homosexual?
- Mark! - What? No, I didn't...
That's... You know what I meant. Right?
Well, more couples are deciding
to have kids without getting married.
And there's an interesting shift in gender roles as well.
Mark and I were just talking about this for us.
Are you and Dave planning on having kids?
No, we don't want to have kids.
- Oh, why not? - It's not -
It's not that I don't like kids.
It's just to not have all the time, you know?
To visit when you guys have kids,
- I'll babysit. - Dave doesn't want them either?
No, he doesn't, actually, we...
I don't know. It's complicated.
Well, Mark and I are going to have a baby.
Oh, are you? That's wonderful.
- Congratulations. - Yeah, we're going with a
sort of non-traditional approach.
- Okay. - Are you adopting?
Um... artificial insemination, actually.
Oh, are you...?
Am I what?
- [Irene] Like... - Barren?
No. Oh my God, no, everything's working fine.
We just don't want to want to, um...
To conceive in violence.
Yeah, we want our baby to be conceived
under peaceful conditions.
To avoid the connotation of rape.
- Well, it doesn't have to be... - Even the slightest overtone.
It just, it creates a safer
gestation environment for the child.
As long as it's consensual...
It's the same as you wouldn't want to grow up in a war zone.
Well, we don't want our baby to be formed in
a traumatized womb.
Can't you just be gentle?
- Well, there's... - Always the...
- The connotation. - Exactly, the connotation.
Have you read about this somewhere?
- I haven't read about. - It's new.
So, is it going to be your sperm?
[Irene] Well, I would assume it is. It is.
- Yeah. - We're discussing it.
Well, it should be.
Maybe your article can help us decide.
Anyway, the bottom line...
We're having it done by a really wonderful doctor.
- He's Chinese. - Mark!
Cecily recommended her.
Is that how Cecily had her baby?
No, this is new.
Well, that's wonderful, really wonderful.
- Dave? - You have guests.
Yeah.
Yeah,
Hi, everyone.
Hey, everyone, this is our friend, Annie.
Sorry, I'm late.
[Mark] Nice to... Okay.
Oh, and of course you already know Paul.
- Oh, hi. - I'm a friend of Annie's.
Oh, hi.
You haven't eaten already, have you?
Oh, no, no, no. You haven't missed anything
except some rousing conversation.
Beth and Mark are going to have a baby, Dave.
Whoa. Wow! That's fantastic.
Really happy for you guys.
- Congratulations. - Thanks.
- So are you... - No, not yet.
We're still exploring our insemination options.
Oh, of course, yeah, I mean,
there are so many options these days.
It might not be his sperm.
Oh, I see.
- How's dinner coming, babe? - I'll check.

That's me in Gaza.
That's the wall at the West Bank.
- Wow. - Hmm. Interesting.
Yeah, we had a great group that day.
So you travel around doing yoga?
It's for my non-profit Yogis Without Borders.
Wow.
We do yoga in places that have been ravaged by war.
There's the border wall.
[Mark] Seems dangerous.
[Annie] Everyone was really nice to us.
Gaza heavy stuff.
I'm going to Iraq in the fall.
Oh, really for the, um... is that still going on?
- I think so. - Where's that?
- Oh, that's my flat in Paris. - Oh, Paris.
Dave and I were just talking about taking a trip there.
We have an office there.
Is that your Instagram account?
22,000 followers.
[Annie] You can stay at my flat.
I have always wanted to take cooking classes there.
[Beth] I wish we traveled more.
- Why don't you come with us? - We're saving for a house.
Paris would be so romantic.
- Well, think about it. - How is the food coming, Dave?
Yeah, is dinner almost ready?
- Yeah, you should check on it. - I'd like to propose a toast
to a wonderful evening with friends,
to an exquisite meal and to Beth's new job.
And to Irene's big cover story.

Thank you. It's my first really big piece.
- What a great magazine. - Yeah, I know, it's crazy.
She wrote a piece about how women in their 30s realize
their prospects and settle.
Is it based on personal experience?
No, not at all. I'm one of the lucky ones.
We're not one of those couples.
I'm... I am a writer.
So, I mean, I'm writing about the society that I see.
And I mean, I've certainly drawn observations and...

Hi, yes. I'd like...
I'm sorry, could you hold on for one second?
- Hey. - Everything okay?
Yeah. Why?
There's a Frenchman at the door.
- A Frenchman? - [Dave] Yeah, a Frenchman.
- [Irene] So... - Do you know him?
I don't think so.
Well, he says he's here for the party,
but I didn't invite him.
Well, is he the sort of person
we'd like to have at our party?
Well, he looks like a professor and he's French,
so I guess he's some kind of intellectual.
So let him in.
What are you doing in here?

Dave.
I want to help you.
Dave.
Let me help you.
I love you.
No, you don't. How could you?
You don't even see the real me.
[tense music]
Oh, my God. Where'd you find this?
- Shh. - What?
If Dave found out, he'd kill me.
Okay.

You Americans are so sensitive about sexuality.
[speaks in French] It is very refreshing...
To meet a real French person here.
The people here...
...they're so boring.
Aren't they?
You do speak French, don't you?
You know,
It's not polite in mixed company...
You are a dirty coward, yes?
Oui.
You don't speak French, do you?
You are very funny. You know this?
You aren't French, are you?
I'm just the kind of person people like at their parties.
Stop it. Stop talking that way.
Are you so different from me?
You're a very sad person.
You think you're making a difference?
Do you think that the poor, the war-ravaged,
that they need yoga?
[Annie] I can't believe I slept with you.
The problems of war can be solved with a good stretch.
That's the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard.
My work is important.
They sound so convincing, don't they?
When they tell you how impressed they are
with your work, your difference making.
You want to believe them so badly
so that your life can hang on to that
- little thread of meaning. - Fuck you.
At least I did the research. I read the books.
I'm a good forgery. You're a factory made trinket.
What do you think it says about you that you valued
my words more when I had an accent?
It's to have the courage to be in on the joke.
You're a monster.
Beth!
- Beth. - What?
Don't you think we should talk about this?
No, I don't. Not right now.
- [Beth] After dinner, okay? - There's no dinner.
What?
- There's no dinner. - You...
- I thought you were... - You're not French?
- [Edouard] No. - Oh my God.
All that bullshit about Transformers.
I believed you because I thought you were French.
- I let you fuck me. - You what?
Shut up, Mark! I'm so not in the mood right now!
Who the fuck are you?
I did you a favor.

Dave, I know everything.
Everything there was to ever know. Okay?

Dave, you're my husband. You're a logistics man.
David, please. It's not too late.
He was just lying there.
What the hell is going on?
Dinner's almost ready.
What did you do? The man in the bath...
I thought he was your friend.
No.
What the hell is going on? We want our food!
- I can explain. - You promised us dinner.
Where the hell is the food?
- You brought us here. - We want our fucking food.
Everyone calm the fuck down!
I can explain everything.
You just go back out to the living room. I can explain.

- [Irene] It's not Charlie. - Then who is it?
Who is it?
I ordered takeout.
[Mark] Why?
Then what's in the oven?
Yeah, what the fuck is in the oven?
[Mark] Open the fucking oven!

Oh, my God.
