[knock at door]
Oooh, are these your presentation pieces?
Yes, minus the overhead projection
and the huge deal you're making of this.
Great, you think they're awful.
Viv, I didn't say they were awful.
>>VIVIAN: It just seemed so much easier
when Archibald did it.
It's just circles and squares, right?
Man I hate it when Sterns wins a bet.
This looks familiar.
That's because I drew the same thing when I was 9.
It's still hanging up on your fridge.
>>JODIE: Oh, well, this is much improved.
Look how much taller you are now.
I should just let Sterns draw the comic.
At the very least LESBIAN REPORTER CHICK will have bigger boobs.
Look at the two of us.
It's so great that you feel this comfortable with me,
that we can share things, hold hands in the front yard.
Aunt Jodie?
What if it's not just the drawing I'm bad at?
Viv, you just need to be inspired.
Stop thinking everything to death.
There's something in you,
just clear the path and let it come through.
Of course. Because that would be too easy.
>>JODIE: Sorry.
Got your late note ready.
You should just pre-print those.
>>VIVIAN: So.
Comments? Preferably ones that start with amazing.
Wow. I didn't know you had this in ya.
My fists have no fingers.
That could mean something.
Great. So not only am I a shitty artist I also need therapy.
It's okay to talk about it, you know.
>>STERNS: Screw therapy.
I got something better. Right hook.
[They laugh.]
Or maybe I should've given you more of an upper cut.
I hate to say it, but I like this one better.
It does have possibilities.
I meant the artwork.
Better than your ex?
Sorry, too soon.
I'm trying really hard to like you.
And I'm trying really hard to be liked.
OK, I give up.
The job's yours.
Should I be worried that I seemed to have cleared the room?
Look, I just um,
I thought that since you're coming back to work on the paper that... maybe...
You thought what?
You could come by and we can talk about how you
made out with my girlfriend.
I haven't talked to her since -
>>VIVIAN: We're not talking about Aster.
Yeah, Sophie said that you two -
We are NOT talking about Sophie.
I guess there's nothing to talk about.
Then why are you still here?
>>JAMIE: You know, I get that what I did really sucked,
but what played out after that, it's not on me.
Dude what the hell?
Oh, I'm sorry did I mess up yet
another picture of Vivian?
Nah, you can't mess this up.
Sterns, give this up man.
Picasso couldn't win her over. Stop wasting your time.
Leave it alone, man.
I'm just giving it to you straight,
which by the way, she isn't.
OK. My turn. I don't give a shit
what you say about me and Vivian. Who the hell are you now anyways?
Ah, that's right.
You're the high school quarterback with the rep of a freshman rookie.
And you're the idiot that's chasing around the school dyke.
Don't fucking talk about her like that.
I knew this would happen.
You knew this would happen.
God, I'm such an idiot.
No hey. You are amazing.
I'm glad you're here.
[sound of train]
Aster?
