MADISON: Jules, you're coming with me tonight.
‐ Coming with you to what?
‐ It's finally happening, an event for my own client where I'm running point.
And out of everyone in my life, I want you by my side.
JULES: You don't want me by your side.
I don't even want me by my side.
If I could attend large social events without me, I would.
‐ It is the biggest night of my professional life
and you're gonna be there.
It starts at 7:00, dress is formal casual.
‐ Those things are opposites.
MADISON: Well, what are you wearing right now?
‐ Jeans and a top.
‐ Are you doing that thing where you call a sweatshirt a top?
‐ No. ‐ You're coming.
Text me when you're on your way.

You can go to this stressful weeknight work party with Madison,

You can keep Amelia or take a gamble

JULES: Madison specifically picked me to go
to this big work event tonight with her, and I'm supposed to look nice.
‐ Wait, the vegan chef book launch?
She invited me to that yesterday, but I said I couldn't go.
‐ Wait, Madison invited you first?
‐ Okay, that was supposed to be a secret, so don't tell her that I told you.
But it's fine that I told you, because we're all such good friends.
‐ If it's okay that you told me, then why can't Madison know I know?
And why aren't you going?
‐ I'll tell you, but it's a secret, so you can't tell Madison.
‐ Can't tell Madison like you couldn't tell me?
Or can't tell Madison like I actually can't tell her?
‐ The former.
The latter. Wait, can you tell me them again?
‐ Why couldn't you go? ‐ I said that I had food poisoning, okay,
but I'm really going to a secret party at Joey Lawrence's house.
‐ Wait, the fact that you're going is a secret?
Or the entire party is a secret?
‐ Both. Joey's having a group of his closest friends over
to announce that he's dying.
‐ Oh, God, that's awful.
‐ I know, it's super tragic,
but, you know, if it's gonna be his last party ever,
I feel personally obligated to have an incredible time.
‐ Wait, how do you know Joey Lawrence?
‐ Well, there's this group of Hollywood brothers,
like the Jonas Brothers, the Hemsworths, the Lawrences‐‐
they all get dinner once a month. I bartended for them once.
Oh, and the Hansons. They are wild.
‐ I guess I just feel a little funny keeping secrets from Madison‐‐
And I am not wearing the boa. ‐ Of course not.
I don't think you should ever keep secrets from friends.
Except for the times where it is extremely important that you do.
‐ And you know the difference how? ‐ You know, it's like,
when you're at a concert and a stranger offers you drugs.
You should have to kind of feel out if it's a good idea in the moment,
with really high stakes if you get it wrong.

Hey, if either of you guys wanna join me tonight,
I'm going to watch Pearl Harbor and then Serendipity

‐ Um, well, I have to go to a work party with Madison.
‐ Fun. I love costume parties.
Are you going too, Stella?
‐ Uh, I have this other thing I have to make an appearance at.
‐ I feel like "It Girls" always have to make an appearance at something,

Have you ever thought about that?
‐ You come at people with kind of an intense energy, don't you?
‐ That's so funny, that's what my last few therapists

It's like every time I get a new one,
they get a once‐in‐a‐lifetime opportunity to move to a remote country

‐ Whatever it is, I promise I can change. ‐ ...fascinating.
‐ Oh, my God, you do?
‐ Yeah. I mean, you're unsettling in a way
that gives me an adrenaline rush and I kind of love it.
You should come with me to this weird party, what do you think?

‐ Just older.
‐ It doesn't seem like that big of a deal,

Secrets between friends are supposed to be secret.
‐ I didn't realize that was a secret.
‐ That a vegan chef eats meat?
What did you think it was, just a career‐destroying fun fact?
‐ Oh, was bringing me to a big social event a bad idea?
I wonder how either of us could have seen this coming.
‐ Oh, that is such a cop‐out, Jules.
You wanted to be friends again, and this is a part of it.
Coming to events, keeping secrets. I confided in you, that means something.
‐ I know that it means something.
I'm not really sure what that something is,
but I acknowledge it sounds like progress when you say it.
‐ Okay, the only way to stop this guy from running the story
is to feed him a better story.
Only problem is, it's a totally dead Tuesday,
and our friend who always knows something crazy going on
currently has her head in the toilet from bad sushi.
What? What do you know? Your eyes widened.
