How romantic. Where did they go?

215
00:09:06,192 --> 00:09:08,697
Well, Smithers says they're
too young for Provincetown,

216
00:09:08,764 --> 00:09:10,668
too monogamous for Fire Island

217
00:09:10,768 --> 00:09:13,406

how Waylon gets in Palm Springs.

You have a "don't look."

00:11:49,519 --> 00:11:51,222
(laughing)

289
00:11:51,322 --> 00:11:52,424
Do you like my top?

290
00:11:52,525 --> 00:11:53,694
Yes, I love the shoulder pads.

291
00:11:53,827 --> 00:11:56,833

in the '90s but not about that.

292

Yes. He seems very nice.

294
00:12:01,710 --> 00:12:03,947
Is it wrong
to enjoy being envied?

295
00:12:04,014 --> 00:12:06,185
Because I am savoring it.

296

I was gonna have kids with.

That zigzag dress hem

303
00:12:22,952 --> 00:12:25,824
Thanks, but I don't
really pay attention to fashion.

304
00:12:25,925 --> 00:12:28,730
It doesn't seem...
super important.

305
00:12:28,764 --> 00:12:31,268
I'd like to suggest
some alterations. May I?

306
00:12:31,335 --> 00:12:34,408
I mean, it's a waste
of your time, but fine.

307
00:12:34,474 --> 00:12:36,445
Wearing the same thing
every day is a choice,

308
00:12:36,513 --> 00:12:39,585
so I can free up my mind
to think about important things,

309
00:12:39,652 --> 00:12:41,656
rather than "Am I on trend?"

310
00:12:41,723 --> 00:12:43,760
Ha, whatever that means.

311

You know who didn't care
about fashion?

Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

313

She slapped on a doily
and that was enough.

314

This obsession with appearance
in our culture...

315
00:12:52,545 --> 00:12:53,914

316
00:12:54,014 --> 00:12:55,116
I feel so confident.

317
00:12:55,249 --> 00:12:59,024

Good Lord! All this time,
it was a hot‐air balloon!

Yes, sir, just like the picture

another puzzle?

This one's a little harder.

It's a hundred pieces, and, uh,
