'Hi! One second. Tom, I'm on the phone to Addie and—'

'Hi Addie!'

'What's up, Tom?'

'Tom, can you give us a second?'

'Just leave me on speak—'

'I'm not leaving you on speaker! This is a best friend matter, Tom.'

'But I wanna know.'

'You can tell him later, Marianne.'

'Okay, Addie says I can tell if you won't be a pestering little bitch. I'll come back once I'm finished. Okay, I'm alone.'

'Geez, finally.'

'Yeah... So what's up?'

'I'm hiding in his bathroom.'

'You're WHAT now?'

'Shh, don't yell at me.'

'You're being about fifty shades of stupid now, love. Of fuckin' course I am going to yell at you. What's happening?'

'We came here to watch a movie after dinner. He offered to give me a ride home anytime.'

'And you are hiding in the bathroom because...? Addie?'

'I didn't— I don't want to rush into things.'

'Having sex on the first date isn't the devil's work, love. Tom and I did and look at us now!'

'Tom and you crossed the fucking ocean just to shag another Brit. And you argue, like, all the time.'

'Quarter in the jar once you''e home. Another one for being a bitch. Addie, don't shag him if you don't want to.'

'What if I do?'

'Does he?'

'...I think so?'

'Go for it! Oh, wait— What about Drew?'

'WHAT about Drew?'

'Don't you like him?'

'It's not like that, Marianne.'

'I thought we concluded it IS like that.'

'No, I'm— It'd be too complicated. I like Holden. We make a good team. We do the same job, have the same interests, see each other every single day.'

'If you say you like him 'cause he's stable I will—'

'But he is! He's reliable. And the thing is, with him, I get flutters and all. Excited. I like the idea of working with him all the time. With Drew, everything's just very calm and not exciting. So that's us being just friends. ...Marianne?'

'Go for it, then. If you like Holden, go for it.'

'You sure?'

'Mon Dieu, Addie, it's your bloody life. Shag him or not. Propose to him if you will, just make up your bloody mind. You've got to start living your life, gal. Things shouldn't consist of a ten-year plan. Shake it up, love!'

'Okay. Thanks. I'll see what I'll do.'

'You're welcome, bitch.'

'Tell Tom I said hi!'

'Yeah, I will, go start living already!'

'Marianne, you are being—'
