David walks up to a window in what we'll assume is the prison. A security guard asks him for ID, and then spins through the rigmarole of what he can bring in, what he can't, when his tray table has to be returned to the upright and locked position, and so on. When David looks up again, the security guard has turned into Jimmy Felon, who asks in a whiny tone, "Are you wearing any implants or prosthetic devices?" No. No, he's not. The door swings open, and David begins down a long hallway into the prison. David walks slowly down the hallways while we're all puzzling out our jokes about how someone in the middle of the hallways can smell his cunt and someone at the end of the hallway blah blah fava beans.
Claire wears a black dress and Anita does coke and it's all so fucking pretentious in the ladies' room at the Mallory Gallery. Anita offers her blow to Claire, and she worries that it will just make her more nervous, which Anita tells her won't happen. "It makes you feel really important for about twenty minutes," Anita promises, which makes Claire go for it. Claire waits for the wacky junk to take hold, and they're walking down the steps into the gallery. Anita tells Claire she'll meet her back in a half-hour for a refill, which means ten minutes of not feeling important are in store for Claire. I don't think she likes that math.
But also it's still the middle of the day. Vanessa lets Rico in the front door of her house, as she tells him that the boys (Julio and Julio) are not home. No problem, Rico says: "It's you I came to see." They sit down across from one another, and Rico starts right in: "Vanessa, I apologize. This is all my fault. All my fault." Vanessa immediately starts to cry, as Rico continues on that he gave his ex-whorefriend that "time and attention" -- Vanessa would also like to add "money" -- that he should have given to his family. "Even if you hadn't slept with her, it was adultery," Vanessa tells him, and Rico agrees because...well, back up against the wall. She tears up a bit more and tells him, "You finally said it. Thank you." All of which adds up to the fact that Rico can move back in now, right? RIGHT? "We can't go back. Everything has changed. I never expected this. And I feel really sad. But it feels right." Rico says "no" as many times as it takes to fit the word "no" inside the word "Nonononononononononononononononononononononono," and then regains his composure in time to ask her, "Don't you love me anymore?" She does, indeed, "but it's just not like before." She tells him she's not trying to hurt him, but then lowers the boom: "I want a divorce." Rico weeps and keeps repeating, "You don't mean it. You don't mean it." Except for the "getting in your heart and staying for good" part.
