MAYA- Why not?
HAZEL- Do you see how we're all sitting here together having drinks after a long day of work-
STERLING- Well Maya wouldn't know because she never works hard.
Ryan laughs.
MAYA- That's funny coming from a person who couldn't put on his own tie today.
STERLING- Man I had honey on my hands relax.
RYAN- Why did you have honey on your hands?
STERLING- She wanted to stop to get breakfast and I wanted to try this honey she always gets.
RYAN- Was it good?
STERLING- (lying) it was aight.
MAYA- Oh please you loved it hence the honey on his hands. He just doesn't want to give me credit.
STERLING- Anyway Hazel you were saying?
MAYA- Whatever Uptown.
STERLING- You just have to get the last word.
MAYA- Yeah.
Hazel laughs.
HAZEL- Okay anyway, see how we're sitting here enjoying each other's company...well at least me and Ryan are....I have no obligations to check in on anybody I can do whatever I want. My only obligation is my job and my apartment....and even that didn't become a home until MJ moved in.

Hazel laughs.

STERLING- and you like it?
MAYA-friends with benefits?
STERLING-Yeah.
MAYA- I mean it's kinda like what Hazel was saying, not being official means you don't owe the person anything....and if someone doesn't owe you can never be disappointed.
