Testimonials

Madison is showing the land to two other agents for their clients. They are unsure of the view. After all: The view. Is everything. Madison's frustrated because he's not selling the property as quickly as he'd like. Then Madison talks about Lauren - not bat-shit crazy Lauren, his ex-girlfriend Lauren - and about how he's still in love with her. He calls her on his cell phone while driving, which I'm pretty sure is illegal in California. And if not, it should be.

Chad calls Judith to give her the 411 on the a/c and estimate situation. The total estimate of all the work needing to be done on the house is $151,500. She tells Chad to go ahead and call Irene to ask her clients to take that amount off the price, as well as the cost of the air conditioning. Irene thinks that sounds high, but will go back to the seller with that info. Thrilling. Irene calls back and tells Chad that the seller said no. Chad calls Judith, then Chad calls Irene and says the rock bottom offer is $100,000 off and payment for a/c before the end of escrow. Chad paces in his office. Irene calls. Chad calls Judith. Again. I guess the seller said yes to the $100,000 off, but no to the a/c installation. He said he'd rather knock another $29,500 off the asking price instead. Judith says okay! Judith's getting the house! No one cares! No one's watching this show! Chad makes the hole in the ozone layer larger by spraying his hair with Aqua-Net.

I credit that delicious cake!

Back in NYC, Trust Fund poses on a rock by some buildings in Central Park. I wish Woody Allen and Diane Keaton were sitting on a bench a few feet away so they could mock him. Trust Fund is ready to head back to L.A. He calls Miguel on the phone. Exhilirating.

Okay, so now that we're done with business, it's personal relationship time. First, we have Chad and Victoria. Victoria just got a job, and Chad just got a new car. Victoria asks, "Why do you have this?" Dude, they are SO not going to last. I give it two months before she breaks up with Chad and starts dating a broke-ass but very sweet and gentle sculptor/performance artist. And I bet they move in together after dating for only a month. And I bet she will be the happiest she's ever been. Oh. Chad just rented the car. Well, that's practical. Much more practical than I thought. I stand by my Victoria scenario, though. They drive to the beach, and Vic asks about the whole moving in thing. Chad asks her if she still wants to move in with him. She says that she wants him to move in with her. He interviews that he just wants her to be happy and comfortable, and if that means moving into her place, that's fine. Which is kind of sweet and thoughtful. So, there's a happy ending. For a month.

Mad's been thinking a lot about his life and work, and he invited Lauren over for lunch. He wants to get some closure and become friends. Lauren asks about Mad's personal life and if he's seeing anyone. Which he's not, because he passed on Erin, who was so cute and nice. Lauren says she's still with her boyfriend of three years. I really like Lauren, and I think that if you took her laid-back and sunny personality and put it into someone with less boobs and more penis, then Madison would have the perfect mate. They chuckle. Mad says he needs to let go of having a relationship with her and just focus on being friends. Lauren asks what led him to that. He just wants to be open. Or something. He goes on to say that he likes women, but he likes men too. And he throws in words like "emotional," and "dichotomy." In letting go of the thought of possibly being in a relationship with Lauren, he's ready for whatever the future brings. So, there's a happy ending. For . . . well, Madison's really mature, so it's probably for ever after.

The "let's just be friends" face. Way to let her down easy.

Chad gives Judith the key to her new house. And he's ready to celebrate with Vic in a big way.
