Just give me a few days. 07:54.558 --> 07:55.559 Okay. 08:08.405 --> 08:12.159 It had been 25 years since I stepped foot in a dance studio. 08:15.829 --> 08:19.458 Returning to ballet required all of my emotional reserves. 08:21.502 --> 08:24.087 Memories lingered in rehearsal rooms. 08:25.297 --> 08:29.218 Young pliant bodies, the expanse of the stage. 08:35.724 --> 08:37.893 It was harder than I thought it would be. 08:41.647 --> 08:44.023 I've seen it with Robert's group of friends before. 08:44.024 --> 08:48.861 One minute, Elana Berkhoff is showing off her new stack of Cartier bracelets, 08:48.862 --> 08:51.447 and the next she is selling them for food. 08:51.448 --> 08:52.949 Okay, I need you to breathe. 08:52.950 --> 08:55.702 Honestly, like, really take a breath. 08:56.995 --> 08:58.956 I think you're jumping to conclusions. 09:00.123 --> 09:01.833 From where I'm sitting, 09:01.834 --> 09:04.544 the drinking, the fighting with his family, that is… 09:04.545 --> 09:07.797 That's more of a midlife crisis than divorce. 09:07.798 --> 09:10.925 Wealthy families divide assets for so many reasons. 09:10.926 --> 09:12.969 You just have to talk to him about it. 09:12.970 --> 09:17.224 Every time I see him passed out on the couch or… 09:22.813 --> 09:24.856 every time I find an empty bottle, 09:24.857 --> 09:27.317 it's like my childhood nightmare playing on a loop. 09:28.193 --> 09:31.655 Like, part of me thinks we will get through anything, right? 09:32.406 --> 09:34.866 But then the louder part of me is like, "Fuck it. 09:34.867 --> 09:37.703 If you can't control your life, then you might as well just…" 09:40.247 --> 09:41.248 I don't know… 09:42.791 --> 09:45.460 Nancy, can I give you some real advice? 09:47.212 --> 09:48.422 Yeah. 09:49.506 --> 09:53.552 You have to listen to that quieter voice. 09:54.595 --> 10:01.309 I know that Robert's drinking is ripping open old wounds, but in reality, 10:01.310 --> 10:06.397 this man thinks that your armpits smell like honeysuckle and rainbows. 10:06.398 --> 10:10.611 He worships you. He is not leaving you. 10:13.614 --> 10:16.742 You're right. I'm just… I'm spinning. 10:19.661 --> 10:22.079 It's ironic that we're talking about this right now. 10:22.080 --> 10:25.292 I just commissioned this piece of art for our anniversary… 10:26.126 --> 10:27.627 if we make it that far. 10:27.628 --> 10:30.671 Oh, my God.

Who is she? 11:16.635 --> 11:17.719 A poet. 11:18.720 --> 11:20.221 We met at a party. 11:20.222 --> 11:21.640 Did you sleep together? 11:23.141 --> 11:24.643 She left an impression. 11:25.227 --> 11:27.020 Please, take a seat. 11:39.950 --> 11:41.118 It's sexier. 11:42.870 --> 11:45.539 Well, you can see my… my scars. 11:46.123 --> 11:48.125 Why not? I like them. 11:49.126 --> 11:51.378 They're a part of you. They tell your story. 11:52.171 --> 11:54.506 A story that I'd like to forget. 11:55.507 --> 11:56.925 I thought you said you wanted… 11:58.218 --> 11:59.219 less safe. 11:59.970 --> 12:01.888 Well, I see them every day I look in the mirror. 12:01.889 --> 12:04.808 I don't think I need to capture them for posterity. 12:05.642 --> 12:07.686 So then, you do want safe. 12:08.979 --> 12:10.939 I'm not sure what I want anymore. 12:15.194 --> 12:17.987 Go ahead. We'll reset when you're done. 12:17.988 --> 12:18.989 Excuse me. 12:24.494 --> 12:27.663 The messages from Scott were frightening enough. 12:27.664 --> 12:30.666 What was even worse was that I had asked for them. 12:30.667 --> 12:35.088 That there was something inside me that made me go back and touch that flame 12:36.673 --> 12:38.759 even though it had burned me so badly. 12:39.468 --> 12:40.594 Everything okay? 12:43.096 --> 12:44.348 Yeah. 12:51.855 --> 12:53.106 I'm ready. 13:22.302 --> 13:23.554 I think you're looking for this. 13:25.556 --> 13:29.225 I saw your notebook was filling up… It's… It's nothing much. 13:29.226 --> 13:30.477 Thanks, Howard. 13:33.522 --> 13:36.357 Does he still call you David? He's called me Louise twice this week. 13:36.358 --> 13:38.235 He calls me something different every time. 13:40.988 --> 13:43.990 It is what you'd expect from a champion snowblower like him. 13:43.991 --> 13:45.409 What? Wait, Phil? 13:46.743 --> 13:49.872 I think all that devil's dandruff has perforated his brain. 13:51.832 --> 13:53.750 Anyway. Glad you like it. 13:55.586 --> 13:57.588 Great, everyone.

Thanks. 14:49.264 --> 14:51.475 I wondered if maybe I was wrong about Howard. 14:51.975 --> 14:56.313 If my dismissiveness had more to do with me than anything about him. 15:14.456 --> 15:15.457 Hey. 15:19.044 --> 15:22.381 It started to feel inevitable that we would forge our own friendship. 15:36.395 --> 15:37.478 There it is. 15:37.479 --> 15:40.274 Okay.
