PART ONE

Max: Nora, so nice to see you. What the hell is that get up she's wearing? Why haven't you called?

Nora: We talked earlier this morning, remember?

Max: Yes. But in my marriage, one day is like a thousand years. I hope she doesn't think I'm coming onto her.

Nora: Hmm.

Max: I need you to move faster. I guess it could've been worse..I could've woke up in Vegas with Nora lying next to me.

Nora: Hang in there.

Max: No, I'm serious -- Shut up, woman!

Nora: We'll get you out.

Max: I'm serious. I can't take this, ok? You want to know why I helped sponsor this whole shindig here? Not to watch you shift drinks all night.

Nora: So you could get out of the house and talk to sane, intelligent people?

Max: Got it. Not like you're one of them. I swear, five more minutes with that woman and I will be absolutely --

Roxy: Yo, Maximillian!

Max: Aye -- Hideous ontop of ugly!

Roxy: Hi.

Nora: Hi.

---------------------

Max: I didn't invite you to the party because I didn't think it was your kind of party. Maybe if I get drunk enough, I won't notice her haggish looks.

Roxy: Hey, you don't know me very well. Any kind of party is my kind of party.

Gabrielle: Max, I need to speak to you.

Max: Now? Finally, a gorgeous face!

Gabrielle: Yes. It's very important.

Max: I guess I won't need that drink after all.

Gabrielle: I am worried -- extremely worried about Al.

Max: Give it a rest, would you? I want to talk about sex...between you and me.

Gabrielle: No, I'm not going to give it a rest because he won't give it a rest. He will not accept that Jen wants to be with Cristian.

Max: Just give him time. Thank God I'm tall, I can see right down her dress.

Gabrielle: We have given him time. I really feel that he needs professional help. What do you think about asking Rae Cummings to take him on as a patient? Because then at least we would know that he was getting care from a qualified professional.

Max: Hot damn, she's crazy sexy cool!

--------------------

Roxy: Hey, wait -- wait a second. Hey --

Max: Last time I saw a mouth like that, it had a fishhook in it.

[Gabrielle laughs]

Max: She laughed. She liked my joke. Score! Don't -- no, don't go there, please.

Gabrielle: As hysterical as your marriage is, I am still very, very concerned about our son.

Max: Gabrielle, he doesn't want help. I can't help but picture Gabrielle naked right now.

Gabrielle: But perhaps we could talk to him and convince him.

Max: He almost married the girl, all right? Of course he's going to have a tough time getting over her. Like I did getting over you. You're too hot to let go.

Gabrielle: Max, spending your life fixated on someone who will never love you back is a -- is a terrible way to live.

Max: I wonder if she's noticed that I've been playing pocket pool this whole time?

Roxy: Oh, this place is really swell.

Max: Ew, Roxy, go away. You're ruining a great moment here.

Gabrielle: Never mind, Max. I'll go and talk to Rae Cummings myself.

Roxy: Honey, if this Rae is so great, maybe she could give us a little marriage counseling.

Max: I am totally turned off now.

-------------------------------

Roxy goes to light her cigerette and Max snatches it away.

Max: Such rudeness. I wish Gabrielle was sitting on my lap or giving me a lap dance.

-------------------------------

After Asa announced that Rae Cummings was a man.

Max: I think Roxy is, too.
