- Robbins, describe your dress for the party. -

- What dress and what party? -

- The opening party for the clinic tomorrow night. I told you about it a hundred times. -

- No, you didn't. -

- Yes, I did. -

- No...you... didn't. -

- Yes, she did. -

- Shut up, Matthew. -

Nicole laughs.

- Someone's in a bad mood today. -

- I'm not in a bad mood. -

- Yes, you are. -

- No, I'm not. -

- Yes, you are. -

- Oh, just shut up, okay? -

Arizona walks away, enters the closest bathroom and slams the door. She looks into the mirror, her hands holding on to the sink and tries to calm down.

What's wrong with me?

- Arizona? -

Liam is basically knocking the door open.

- Go away, Liam, this is the women's toilet. -

- Do I look like I care about labels? Are you naked in there? -

What?

- I'm not naked, what the hell. I'm trying to have some privacy. - she says, but he's already inside.

- So, are you going to tell me what's wrong or should I guess? -

- I'm fine, really. - Her voice comes out squeaky. - It's just... It's stupid, I'm stupid. -

- Come on! What is it? -

Arizona bursts into tears and whines.

- I miss having sex. -

Obviously Liam can't keep himself from laughing at her confession, but he hugs her anyway and pats her back and strokes her hair softly.

- Oh sweetie, of course. Of course you miss it. It's okay, let it out. -

- In Seattle I was getting sex every single day. Now I just get Sofia's goodnight kisses. Sorry, I'm a terrible person, I know, I know. -

It's funny how you can be so shocked and mad and embarrassed about what you are crying for and yet not be able to stop.

- It's okay, honey, it's okay. I mean, look at you, you are the most beautiful woman I know. You are the second most beautiful person I know, me being the first. -

She chuckles a little.

- You are young and beautiful and hot, you deserve to get some sex and the woman you love isn't giving you any. It's okay to be sad. -

- She's not the woman I love. -

- Then why did you think of her in the first place? -

- Oh you are impossible. -

She slaps him playfully on the arm.

- I'm saying... - he sighs and his face turns suddenly serious. - Listen, I know you are trying to be the bigger person here. I know you are trying to give her space and let her decide if she wants to come back to you. But I also know you love her and that you have never loved anyone but her. I know you hurt each other and everything is complicated and messed up, but that kind of love is really hard to come by. Most people live a lifetime without ever finding it. You have it, you have it right there, go fight for it. -
