Ray[voice-over] What happened to my life? I used to be a big deal. I used to be going somewhere. Now all I ever seem to do is try not to drown.
Ray[voice-over] I'd been a jock, student leader, professional ballplayer, an educator. Is this really the material from which male prostitutes are made?
Ray[voice-over] In two years, no one came to my games. Now, here we were in the worst losing streak of my life, and my ex-wife, my two kids, and my pimp were all sitting up there, side by side.
Ray[voice-over while making love to Jemma] This was it. No more bullshit. No Randall, no force-fed lines, no flat tires by the side of the road. It was just me and her making out in my tent with the wind howling outside. It felt different this time. It felt real. [the next morning] Which is why waking up next to that pile of cold hard cash felt like such a kick in the gut.
Ray[voice-over] Screwing Patty was easy. Fucking isn't hard. It's the mind-fuckking you gotta watch out for. She came, and then it came to me. I had to be completely honest. I had to say everything.
Ray[voice-over] I used to have a family. I used to have a wife, kids, a house, a job. Now, well, now I have my dick. A dick and a dream. If that's not the American way, what is?
God, you were magical. In high school you were a king. You were beautiful and...and athletic, and talented and...and smart and popular. And hung!
RayWhat am I now, Jessica? What am I now?!
Now you're just hung!
[referring to Lenore] You'll be like another product that she can recommend to her clients. I haven't talked to her yet, but I really think she might go for it. What do you think?
RayI think you're insane. I think I'm insane, I think this whole plan is nuts.
Ray...
RayI also think I'm broke, my ex-wife is up my ass, and hell, I want my kids back. So yeah, what the hell. Go for it. I always wanted to be a product when I grew up.
The point is, we have to think big. I know we might have to start with baby steps, but my goal is for us to be pulling down a couple thousand dollars a night.
RayYou think I'm that good?
Maybe if you work on your technique a little bit...a little bit.
RayMy technique is fine, Tanya. I've been pleasing women for decades now. You're not my only screamer.
Ray, I cannot be partners with someone who hates women.
RayHey hey hey, I love women, Tanya. But Lenore is a control-freak, hickey-sucking pain in my ass.
RayYou were gonna invite that guy in for tea?
Sometimes tea is just tea, Ray.
RayNot in your world.
RayI don't know if I really feel comfortable doing Molly.
Why the hell not?
RayUh, just...I...she's not really my type.
Not your type? What's your type, Ray?
RayShe's just not exactly what I was expecting.
What were you expecting?
RayI don't know, just, you know, someone who looks like they're sexually active.
You mean somebody you want to be sexually active with. So insulting! Happiness Consultants does not discriminate. Not every customer is going to be some perfect big-breasted ten.
Why is it so hard for you to say 'I love you'?
RayWhy do you want me to say it so bad? Look, I just can't help but wonder why you'd want to ruin such a perfectly beautiful moment on a perfectly beautiful beach with all this fucked up, artificial shit. I mean, what am I, a goddamn dancing monkey here?
RayI just wish that in some crazy, long-shot version of this universe, that you would stay here with me...and not vanish from existence from my life.
But Randall, I have a boyfriend.
RayAnd I respect that. And I respectfully don't care.
RayMy name's Ray.
More...tell me more.
RayNo.
Please?
RayNo.
I'll pay you...lots.
RayWhat do you think I am, a whore?
Yeah. Yes, you're a whore.
