1. This is a story of boy meets girl.Copy !req
2. The boy, Tom Hansen
of Margate, New Jersey,Copy !req
3. grew up believing that
he'd never truly be happy...Copy !req
4. until the day he met "the one."Copy !req
5. This belief stemmed from early
exposure to sad British pop music...Copy !req
6. and a total misreading
of the movie The Graduate.Copy !req
7. Elaine! Elaine!Copy !req
8. The girl, Summer Finn
of Shinnecock, MichiganCopy !req
9. did not share this belief.Copy !req
10. Since the disintegration
of her parents marriageCopy !req
11. she'd only loved two things.Copy !req
12. The first was her long dark hair.Copy !req
13. The second was how easily
she could cut it off...Copy !req
14. and feel nothing.Copy !req
15. Tom meets Summer on January 8.Copy !req
16. He knows almost immediately
she's who he's been searching for.Copy !req
17. This is a story of boy meets girl.Copy !req
18. But you should know up frontCopy !req
19. this is not a love story.Copy !req
20. We didn't know
who else to call.Copy !req
21. It's Amanda Heller
all over again.Copy !req
22. You did the right thing.Copy !req
23. Now where is he?Copy !req
24. Thomas.Copy !req
25. Rachel.
What are you doing here?Copy !req
26. I'm here to help you.
- Help me how?Copy !req
27. First' put down the plate.Copy !req
28. Drink this.Copy !req
29. - What is that?
- Vodka.Copy !req
30. Um' does Mom know
that you're here?Copy !req
31. 'Cause it's probably past 10:00.
- Don't worry about it.Copy !req
32. Just start from the beginning,
and tell us what happened.Copy !req
33. Things were going so well.Copy !req
34. Then what?Copy !req
35. I think we should
stop seeing each other.Copy !req
36. Just like that?
- Just like that.Copy !req
37. - Did she say why?
- I mean' this thing- what are we doing?Copy !req
38. I mean, is this normal?Copy !req
39. Norm- I- I don't know. I don't care.
I'm happy. Aren't you happy?Copy !req
40. You're happy?
- You're not?Copy !req
41. All we do is argue.
- That is bullshit.Copy !req
42. Maybe she was just
in a bad mood.Copy !req
43. Yeah, maybe like
a- a hormonal thing.Copy !req
44. - P.M.S?
- What do you know about P.M.S?Copy !req
45. - More than you' Tom.
- Then what happened?Copy !req
46. This can't come as
a total surprise to you.Copy !req
47. I mean, we've been
like Sid and Nancy
for months now.Copy !req
48. Summer, Sid stabbed Nancy...
seven times with a kitchen knife.Copy !req
49. I- I mean, we have some disagreements,
but I hardly think I'm Sid Vicious.Copy !req
50. No. I'm Sid.Copy !req
51. Oh, so I'm Nancy?Copy !req
52. Let's just eat,
and we'll talk about it later.Copy !req
53. Mmm. That is good.Copy !req
54. I'm really glad we did this.Copy !req
55. I love these pancakes.Copy !req
56. What?Copy !req
57. Tom, don't go.
You're still my best friend!Copy !req
58. - Jesus.
- You've broken up with girls before.Copy !req
59. Yes.Copy !req
60. And girls have broken up
with you before.Copy !req
61. This is different.
- Why?Copy !req
62. 'Cause it's Summer.Copy !req
63. So you'll-you'll
meet somebody new.Copy !req
64. Point is, you're
the best guy I know.
You'll get over her.Copy !req
65. I think it's kind of like how they say.
There's, uh-Copy !req
66. There's plenty of other
fish in the sea.Copy !req
67. No.
- They- They say that.Copy !req
68. Well, they're lying.Copy !req
69. I don't want to get over her.Copy !req
70. I want to get her back.Copy !req
71. Maybe playing it safe
is the wrong approach.Copy !req
72. The nuclear family is dead'Copy !req
73. and we need a new holiday
that recognizes that.Copy !req
74. May 21 st.Copy !req
75. Other Mother's Day.Copy !req
76. Thank you.Copy !req
77. I'd say we've got
some potential here.
What do you think, Hansen?Copy !req
78. Could you write up some
prototypes for these?Copy !req
79. Uh' Mr. Vance,
there's a telephone call
for you on line three.Copy !req
80. Oh. Thank you.
Uh' everyone, this is Summer,
my new assistant.Copy !req
81. Summer just moved here from-Copy !req
82. Michigan.
- Right. Michigan. Right.Copy !req
83. Uh, Summer, everyone.Copy !req
84. Everyone, Summer.
Excuse me. I have to take this.Copy !req
85. It's nice to meet you all.Copy !req
86. There's only two kinds
of people in the world.Copy !req
87. There's women, and there's men.Copy !req
88. Summer Finn was a woman.Copy !req
89. Height, average. Weight, average.Copy !req
90. Shoe size, slightly above average.Copy !req
91. For all intents and purposes,Copy !req
92. Summer Finn, just another girl.Copy !req
93. Except she wasn't.Copy !req
94. To wit, in 1998,Copy !req
95. Summer quoted a song
by the Scottish band
Belle and Sebastian...Copy !req
96. in her high school yearbook.Copy !req
97. "Color my life
with the chaos of trouble."Copy !req
98. This spike in Michigan
sales of their album...Copy !req
99. The Boy with the Arab Strap...Copy !req
100. continues to puzzle industry analysts.Copy !req
101. Summer's employment
at the Daily Freeze
during her sophomore year...Copy !req
102. coincided with an inexplicable
212% increase in revenue.Copy !req
103. Every apartment Summer rented...Copy !req
104. was offered at an average rate
of 9.2% below market value.Copy !req
105. And her round-trip commute to work...Copy !req
106. averaged 18.4 double takes per day.Copy !req
107. It was a rare quality,
this "Summer effect."Copy !req
108. Rare, and yet something
every postadoles cent male
has encountered...Copy !req
109. at least once in their lives.Copy !req
110. For Tom Hans en to find it now
in a city of 400,000 offices,Copy !req
111. 91,000 commercial buildings
and 3.8 million people-Copy !req
112. Well, that could only
be explained by one thing:Copy !req
113. fate.Copy !req
114. Dude, I hear she's a bitch.Copy !req
115. Really?Copy !req
116. Yeah. Patel tried to talk
to her in the copy room.
She's totally not having it.Copy !req
117. Maybe she was just in a hurry.Copy !req
118. And maybe she's an uppity,
"better than everyone" superskank.Copy !req
119. Damn.
I know.
She's pretty hot.Copy !req
120. That sucks.
Why is it pretty girls...Copy !req
121. think they can treat people like crap
and get away with it?Copy !req
122. Centuries of reinforcement.Copy !req
123. You know what? Screw her.
I don't care.Copy !req
124. If she wants to be that way, fine.Copy !req
125. Smiths?Copy !req
126. Hi.Copy !req
127. I love the Smiths.
Sorry?Copy !req
128. I said I love the Smiths.Copy !req
129. You have- You have
good taste in music.Copy !req
130. You like the Smiths?
- Yeah.Copy !req
131. I love 'em.Copy !req
132. Holy shit.Copy !req
133. There you go.
Have another piece.Copy !req
134. Ah.
Drinks?Copy !req
135. Arthur, did you get a piece?
- Thanks.Copy !req
136. Want one? Yeah.Copy !req
137. Want one?
- Mmm.Copy !req
138. Summer, right?
- Oh. Yeah.Copy !req
139. Smiths fan.
- Yeah. Tom.Copy !req
140. Want some, uh, uh-Copy !req
141. It's not champagne.
I don't know what it is.
- Sure.Copy !req
142. So, how's it goin'?Copy !req
143. Pretty good.
You just moved here, right?Copy !req
144. Mm-hmm.
- When?Copy !req
145. Saturday.
- Oh, wow.Copy !req
146. And, uh, what brought you?Copy !req
147. Boredom mostly.Copy !req
148. Wanted to try something
new and exciting.
- Mmm.Copy !req
149. Well, clearly you've
come to the right place.Copy !req
150. So, have you
worked here long?
- About three or four years.Copy !req
151. Wow. You've...Copy !req
152. always wanted to write
greeting cards?Copy !req
153. No, I don't even
want to do it now.Copy !req
154. Well, you should
do something else then.Copy !req
155. Yeah. I studied to be
an architect, actually.Copy !req
156. You did? That's cool.
What happened there?Copy !req
157. It didn't work out.Copy !req
158. I needed a job, and here we are.Copy !req
159. You any good?Copy !req
160. Well, um, I wrote this one.Copy !req
161. "Today you're a man.Copy !req
162. Mazel tov
on your bar mitzvah."Copy !req
163. It's a big seller.
I meant as an architect.Copy !req
164. Yeah.Copy !req
165. I doubt it.
- Well,Copy !req
166. you're a perfectly adequate
greeting card writer.Copy !req
167. Thank you. That was actually
my nickname in college.Copy !req
168. They called me
"Perfectly Adequate" Hansen.Copy !req
169. They used to call me Anal Girl.Copy !req
170. I was very neat and organized.Copy !req
171. Well, I should get back, so-
Uh-Copy !req
172. All right. See you later.Copy !req
173. I don't know, man.
I think it's official.Copy !req
174. I'm in love with Summer.
I love her smile.Copy !req
175. I love her hair. I love her knees.Copy !req
176. I love this heart-shaped birthmark
she has on her neck.Copy !req
177. I love the way she sometimes
licks her lips before she talks.Copy !req
178. I love the sound of her laugh.Copy !req
179. I love the way she looks
when she's sleeping.Copy !req
180. I love how I hear this song
every- every time I think of her.Copy !req
181. I love how she makes me feel.Copy !req
182. Like-Copy !req
183. Like anything's possible,
or like- I don't know. Like-Copy !req
184. Like life is worth it.Copy !req
185. This is not good.Copy !req
186. She likes Magritte and Hopper.Copy !req
187. And we talked
about Bananafish
for like 20 minutes.Copy !req
188. We're so compatible,
it's insane.Copy !req
189. She's- well, she's not
like I thought at all.
She's amazing.Copy !req
190. Oh, boy.
- What?Copy !req
191. Just 'cause some
cute girl likes the same
bizarro crap you do,Copy !req
192. that doesn't make her
your soul mate, Tom.Copy !req
193. - Red team wins!
- What do you mean?Copy !req
194. - It's off.
- what?Copy !req
195. - Me and Summer.
- Was it ever on?Copy !req
196. No, but it could have been,
in a world where
good things happen to me.Copy !req
197. - Yeah, well, that's not
really where we live.
- No.Copy !req
198. Lucky.Copy !req
199. So, what happened?Copy !req
200. All right. You ready?
- Yeah.Copy !req
201. So there we are.
Nine more floors to ride,
just me and her.Copy !req
202. Hey, Summer.Copy !req
203. Hi.Copy !req
204. How was your weekend?Copy !req
205. It was good.Copy !req
206. Can you believe that shit?Copy !req
207. I'm sorry. What shit?Copy !req
208. - I think I missed something.
- She said, "It was good."
Emphasis on the "good."Copy !req
209. She basically said she spent
the weekend having sex with
some guy she met at the gym.Copy !req
210. Skank. Whatever.
I'm over it.Copy !req
211. What the hell
is wrong with you?
- She's not interested in me.Copy !req
212. There's really nothing
I can do about that.Copy !req
213. Just because
she said it was good?
And some other things.Copy !req
214. Like, did she say, uh,
"hey" instead of "hi"?Copy !req
215. I mean, 'cause you know
that that- that means
that she's a lesbian, right?Copy !req
216. I gave her plenty of chances.Copy !req
217. I'm going to the supply room.
Do you guys need anything?Copy !req
218. I think you know what I need.Copy !req
219. Uh, toner.Copy !req
220. Okay. Sure. No problem.Copy !req
221. Whatever, man. It's fine.
I don't need this crap really.
I just, you know-Copy !req
222. I'm comfortable.
I'm unhassled.Copy !req
223. People don't realize this,
but loneliness-Copy !req
224. - It's underrated.
- You could just ask her out.Copy !req
225. Don't be stupid.Copy !req
226. Hey.Copy !req
227. This Friday, all you can
karaoke at the Mill.
- No.Copy !req
228. Come on.
They're not gonna let you
back in there after last time.Copy !req
229. Ah, I wasn't that bad.Copy !req
230. Dude, you threw up
on the stage, you tried to
fight the bartender...Copy !req
231. and you threatened to
burn the place down.Copy !req
232. But I didn't
burn the place down.
- We're not going back there, man.Copy !req
233. Look. It's not like that, okay?
It's a work thing.
The whole office is going.Copy !req
234. I can't go, even if I wanted-
You're not listening to me.Copy !req
235. What?
- The whole office is going.Copy !req
236. Hi.
- Hi.Copy !req
237. They said you weren't coming.
You asked if I was-Copy !req
238. Goddamn. That song is brilliant!Copy !req
239. What's up, Hansen?
Summer. Summer-Copy !req
240. That's me.
Come on up.Copy !req
241. You-Copy !req
242. Okay. I'm new,
so no making fun of me.
- Whoo!Copy !req
243. Thanks, chief.Copy !req
244. Ah, thanks.
- Yeah, man.Copy !req
245. Cheers.Copy !req
246. Like, that's what I was-
I guess.Copy !req
247. Hello.
- Hi.Copy !req
248. I didn't, uh- I didn't know
you were gonna join us.Copy !req
249. I would have gotten you,
you know, a drink, or-Copy !req
250. I'm good.
- You're good?Copy !req
251. You- You were great-
great up, uh, singing.
- Thank you.Copy !req
252. I wanted to sing "Born To Run,"
but they didn't have it.Copy !req
253. I love "Born To Run."
- Me too.Copy !req
254. Tom's from New Jersey.
- Really?Copy !req
255. Yeah. I grew up there.
Uh, I lived there till I was 12.Copy !req
256. I named my cat
after Springsteen.Copy !req
257. No kidding.
What-what was his name?Copy !req
258. Bruce.Copy !req
259. Oh.
That makes sense.Copy !req
260. So, do you have a boyfriend?Copy !req
261. - No.
- Why not?Copy !req
262. - 'Cause I don't want one.
- Come on. I don't believe that.Copy !req
263. You don't believe
that a woman could enjoy
being free and independent?Copy !req
264. Are you a lesbian?Copy !req
265. No, I'm not a lesbian.Copy !req
266. I just don't feel comfortable
being anyone's girlfriend.Copy !req
267. I don't actually feel
comfortable being anyone's
anything, you know.Copy !req
268. - I don't know what
you're talking about.
- Really?Copy !req
269. Nope.Copy !req
270. Okay. Let me
break it down for you.Copy !req
271. - Break it down.
- Okay. I like being on my own.Copy !req
272. Relationships are messy,
and people's feelings get hurt.Copy !req
273. Who needs it? We're young.Copy !req
274. We live in one of
the most beautiful
cities in the world.Copy !req
275. Might as well have fun
while we can and...Copy !req
276. save the serious stuff for later.Copy !req
277. Holy shit. You're a dude.
She's a dude.Copy !req
278. Okay. But wait, wait.
What happens if you fall in love?Copy !req
279. What?Copy !req
280. Well, you don't
believe that, do you?Copy !req
281. It's love.
It's not Santa Claus.Copy !req
282. Well, what does
that word even mean?Copy !req
283. I've been in relationships,
and I don't think I've ever seen it.Copy !req
284. Well, maybe that's-
- And most marriages end
in divorce these days.Copy !req
285. Like my parents.
- Okay. Mine too, but-Copy !req
286. Me thinks the lady
doth protest too much.Copy !req
287. The lady dothn't.Copy !req
288. There's no such thing as love.
It's a fantasy.Copy !req
289. Well, I think you're wrong.Copy !req
290. Okay. Well,Copy !req
291. what is it that
I'm missing then?Copy !req
292. I think you know it
when you feel it.Copy !req
293. I guess we can just
agree to disagree.Copy !req
294. Yeah.Copy !req
295. Okay. Who's singing next?Copy !req
296. I nominate
young Werther here.Copy !req
297. I'm not nearly
drunk enough to-
Bartender.Copy !req
298. It's not?
No, that's not it.Copy !req
299. What is that then?
I don't know. That-Copy !req
300. That- That's something,
but that's not it.
- I know.Copy !req
301. Ah, I used to
watch it every week.
- Oh. Yeah!Copy !req
302. It was the best show on TV.
- I know.Copy !req
303. Knight Rider? Come on.
- And the theme song is really good.Copy !req
304. So good.
- This is gonna
bother me for a week.Copy !req
305. Me too.Copy !req
306. - You were amazing.
- I know, buddy.Copy !req
307. You're amazing.Copy !req
308. This was so much fun.
- Yeah.Copy !req
309. You guys are so much-
- Wait! wait! Hey.Copy !req
310. What's up?
- Not you.Copy !req
311. You.Copy !req
312. He likes you.
- Okay.Copy !req
313. He likes likes you!
- Good night, McKenzie.Copy !req
314. Why don't you just
tell her, Tom?
- Yeah.Copy !req
315. You guys are the best!
Sorry you had to see that. He's-Copy !req
316. Happens every time we come here.
He, uh- I don't know.Copy !req
317. Something about
that guy and singing.Copy !req
318. Is that true?
- Yeah, yeah.Copy !req
319. He drinks, and he sings
and just loses his shit.Copy !req
320. No, uh, not McKenzie.Copy !req
321. Um, the other thing.Copy !req
322. What thing?Copy !req
323. Do you... like me?Copy !req
324. Yeah.Copy !req
325. Yeah, of course I like you.Copy !req
326. As friends?Copy !req
327. Right. As friends.Copy !req
328. Just as friends?Copy !req
329. Yeah. I mean, I- I don't know.
I hadn't really thought about, um-Copy !req
330. Yes. why?Copy !req
331. No reason. I just-Copy !req
332. I think you're interesting,
and I'd like for us to be friends.Copy !req
333. Is that all right?Copy !req
334. Yeah. It's, um-Copy !req
335. Yeah. You and me.
We should be friends.
- Mmm.Copy !req
336. Okay. Good.Copy !req
337. Well, I'm that way, so-Copy !req
338. Okay. Well, good night.
- Good night.Copy !req
339. - Hey.

340. So, that was fun
the other night.Copy !req
341. You son of a bitch.
- Shh!Copy !req
342. The same girl you've been
obsessing over for weeks now?
I've not been obsessing.Copy !req
343. The girl you said was out
of your league, that you'd
never have a chance with.Copy !req
344. That girl.
- Paul, seriously.Copy !req
345. Did you bang her?
- No.Copy !req
346. What, hum job? Hand job?
- Man, no.Copy !req
347. No jobs. I'm still unemployed.
We- We kissed.Copy !req
348. Level with me, man. Come on.
This is your best friend, huh?Copy !req
349. Your best friend who tolerated
you whining about this girl
for weeks on end.Copy !req
350. Paul-
- You were essentially
stalking her!Copy !req
351. Paul! Shh!Copy !req
352. - Hi.
- Hey.Copy !req
353. I'm Summer.
- Summer.Copy !req
354. I'm Paul.
- Hi, Paul. Nice to meet you.Copy !req
355. Well, I gotta go.
I gotta do some, you know.Copy !req
356. Yeah, man.
- Um, pretend I was never here.Copy !req
357. Oh, wait! Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom.
Um, if any jobs come up-Copy !req
358. Thanks, Paul! See ya!Copy !req
359. He's, uh, you know,
an old friend.Copy !req
360. If you heard any of, um-Copy !req
361. Heard what?
- Nothing. You wanna go?Copy !req
362. Yeah. I'm stalking.
I mean, I'm starving.Copy !req
363. Ah, hon?Copy !req
364. Our sink is broken.Copy !req
365. Man, all of our sinks
are broken.Copy !req
366. What are we looking for again?Copy !req
367. Uh, trivets.
How 'bout a fly gel?Copy !req
368. No, I don't think so.Copy !req
369. No? You don't
want a fly gel?Copy !req
370. Home sweet home.Copy !req
371. Our place really
is lovely, isn't it?Copy !req
372. Yes.Copy !req
373. Ooh! Idol's on.Copy !req
374. The TV's not working.Copy !req
375. Oh.Copy !req
376. Well, I'm famished.Copy !req
377. Let's eat.Copy !req
378. Mmm. Smells delicious.Copy !req
379. Oh, honey, that's because
it is delicious.Copy !req
380. I made it myself.Copy !req
381. Bald eagle.
Your favorite.Copy !req
382. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
383. The sink's broken.Copy !req
384. Well, that's okay, because...Copy !req
385. that's why we bought a home
with two kitchens.Copy !req
386. You're so smart.Copy !req
387. I'll race you to the bedroom.Copy !req
388. Darling, I don't know
how to tell you this,Copy !req
389. but... there's a Chinese family
in our bathroom.Copy !req
390. This is fun.Copy !req
391. You're fun.Copy !req
392. Thanks.Copy !req
393. Hey, um,Copy !req
394. I just wanna tell you
that, um,Copy !req
395. I'm not really looking...Copy !req
396. for anything... serious.Copy !req
397. Is that okay?Copy !req
398. Yeah.Copy !req
399. 'Cause some people
kind of freak out
when they hear that.Copy !req
400. No, not me.Copy !req
401. You sure?Copy !req
402. Yeah. Like, casual.
- Right? Take it slow.Copy !req
403. Right.Copy !req
404. No pressure.Copy !req
405. Can you, uh-
Can you wait one second?Copy !req
406. Okay. Settle.
She's just a girl.Copy !req
407. Just a girl.Copy !req
408. She wants to keep it casual,Copy !req
409. which is why she's
in my bed right now.Copy !req
410. But that's casual.
That's what casual people do.Copy !req
411. That's fine. That's great.Copy !req
412. Hi.
- Hi.Copy !req
413. You know, I'm gonna- I'm gonna-
I'm gonna get Alfredo's number.Copy !req
414. Okay.
- And I'll- And I'll bring it to you.Copy !req
415. Okay.
- Okay?Copy !req
416. Is this Solitaire?Copy !req
417. So, did you get her back
yet or what?Copy !req
418. Working on it.Copy !req
419. Hey, maybe you should
write a book.
- What?Copy !req
420. Well, you know, Henry Miller
said the best way
to get over a woman...Copy !req
421. is to turn her into literature.Copy !req
422. Well, that guy had
a lot more sex than me.Copy !req
423. Oh, this is it! This is it!Copy !req
424. So great to hear from you.Copy !req
425. I can't this week, but maybe next?Copy !req
426. I hope this means
you're ready to be friends.Copy !req
427. Yeah, that's it. That is it.Copy !req
428. Your girl is losing it.Copy !req
429. Can you just be serious,
for just a second?Copy !req
430. I am being totally serious.
- No, you're joking around.Copy !req
431. No, I am not joking around.
"Octopus's Garden"?Copy !req
432. Yes, "Octopus's Garden"
is the best Beatles song
ever recorded.Copy !req
433. Why don't you just say "Piggies"?Copy !req
434. Come on. I love Ringo Starr!Copy !req
435. Nobody loves Ringo Starr.
- That's what I love about him.Copy !req
436. No, no.Copy !req
437. Ooh, this looks good.Copy !req
438. Gets really good reviews.Copy !req
439. You know what?
That looks pretty doable.Copy !req
440. Why are you asking me now?
- Because this was your idea.Copy !req
441. Put your hand there.
- Wait one second.Copy !req
442. Okay. Three, two, one!
- One.Copy !req
443. Yeah, the street level
isn't so exciting, but-Copy !req
444. The Fine Arts Building.Copy !req
445. The guys who designed this,
Walker and Eisen,
are... two of my favorites.Copy !req
446. This is my favorite spot.
- This is?Copy !req
447. This is your favorite spot?Copy !req
448. Right here.Copy !req
449. How come?Copy !req
450. Uh, I don't know.
It's kind of hard to explain,
I guess.Copy !req
451. Well, try.Copy !req
452. Um- Well, okay.Copy !req
453. Like, that building- that's, uh-Copy !req
454. That's been there since 1911.Copy !req
455. And that- that's the Continental.
That's L.A.'s first skyscraper.Copy !req
456. It was built in 1904.Copy !req
457. What is that?Copy !req
458. That?Copy !req
459. That's a parking lot.
- Oh!Copy !req
460. Yeah. That's-
That's also a parking lot.Copy !req
461. That's, um- Yeah.Copy !req
462. There's a lot of beautiful
stuff here too though.Copy !req
463. I don't know.
I just... wish people
would notice it more.Copy !req
464. If it were me, then, uh-Copy !req
465. If it were you what?Copy !req
466. I don't know. I think
I'd... make 'em notice.Copy !req
467. How would you
make them notice?Copy !req
468. I don't know.
There's a lot of different
stuff you could do.Copy !req
469. Show me.Copy !req
470. Please. I don't know
anything about architecture.Copy !req
471. You want me to
draw you something?
- Yeah.Copy !req
472. I don't have any paper.
- Well, use my arm.Copy !req
473. Please, I need a tattoo.Copy !req
474. Well, let's see your arm.
- That's the spirit.Copy !req
475. Well, the buildings need
to be integrated better, so-Copy !req
476. You could maximize
light capacity here.Copy !req
477. It's kind of messy.Copy !req
478. That's okay.Copy !req
479. For Tom Hansen, this was the night
where everything changed.Copy !req
480. That wall Summer
so often hid behind-Copy !req
481. the wall of distance, of space, of casual-Copy !req
482. that wall was slowly coming down.Copy !req
483. For here was Tom, in her world,Copy !req
484. a place few had been invited
to see with their own eyes.Copy !req
485. And here was Summer,
wanting him there.Copy !req
486. Him, no one else.Copy !req
487. Have you ever been
in a tornado?
- No.Copy !req
488. It's that and
my teeth falling out.Copy !req
489. I have that too!
- You do?Copy !req
490. Yeah! It's so weird.
It's like being an old man.Copy !req
491. What else do you have?Copy !req
492. Um, earthquakes?Copy !req
493. Really?
- No.Copy !req
494. You know, I dream
sometimes about flying.Copy !req
495. It starts out like I'm running
really, really fast.Copy !req
496. I'm, like, superhuman.Copy !req
497. And the terrain starts to get
really rocky and steep.Copy !req
498. And then I'm running so fast
that my feet aren't even
touching the ground.Copy !req
499. And I'm floating,
and it's like this amazing,
amazing realness.Copy !req
500. I'm free. I'm safe.Copy !req
501. Then I realize,Copy !req
502. I'm completely alone.Copy !req
503. And then I wake up.Copy !req
504. As he listened, Tom began to realize...Copy !req
505. that these weren't stories
routinely told.Copy !req
506. These were stories
one had to earn.Copy !req
507. He could feel the wall coming down.Copy !req
508. He wondered if anyone else
had made it this far.Copy !req
509. Which is why the next six words
changed everything.Copy !req
510. I've never told anybody
that before.Copy !req
511. I guess I'm not just anybody.Copy !req
512. So what are you exactly?Copy !req
513. I don't know.
Are you her boyfriend?Copy !req
514. It's not that simple.
- Sure, it is.Copy !req
515. What, like, are we going steady?
- Come on, guys.Copy !req
516. You know, we're- we're adults.
We know how we feel.Copy !req
517. We don't need
to put labels on it.Copy !req
518. I mean,
"boyfriend,"girlfriend."Copy !req
519. All that stuff is-
It's really juvenile.Copy !req
520. You sound gay.
You really do.Copy !req
521. Okay, first of all,Copy !req
522. your last girlfriend
was Amy Sussman
in the seventh grade,Copy !req
523. and you dated
for, like, three hours.Copy !req
524. And you-
you've been with Robyn
since what- like 1998?Copy !req
525. '97.
- '97. See-Copy !req
526. Shoot.Copy !req
527. I don't think the two of you
are exactly authorities
on modern relationships.Copy !req
528. So, what should I do?
- You should ask her.Copy !req
529. What?Copy !req
530. Well, why rock the boat,
is what I'm thinking.Copy !req
531. I mean,
things are going well.Copy !req
532. You start putting labels on it,
that's like the kiss of death.Copy !req
533. It's like saying, "I love you."
- Yeah, I know what you mean.Copy !req
534. That's what happened
between me and Sean.Copy !req
535. Who the hell's Sean?
- My boyfriend before Mark.Copy !req
536. Who the- never mind.Copy !req
537. So, what you're saying-
I'm saying you do
want to ask her.Copy !req
538. It's obvious.
You're just afraid you'll get
an answer you don't want,Copy !req
539. which will shatter
all the illusions of how great
these past few months have been.Copy !req
540. Now look, if it were me,Copy !req
541. I'd find out now before you
show up at her place...Copy !req
542. and, well, she's in bed
with Lars from Norway.Copy !req
543. Who's Lars from Norway?Copy !req
544. Just some guy
she met at the gym...Copy !req
545. with Brad Pitt's face
and Jesus' abs.Copy !req
546. Wait! No, Coach.
We're not done here.Copy !req
547. Rachel!
- Look, it's easy, Tom.Copy !req
548. Just don't be a pussy.Copy !req
549. You okay?Copy !req
550. Yeah.
- You sure?Copy !req
551. Summer,
I gotta ask you something.Copy !req
552. What?
- What are we, um-Copy !req
553. What are we doing?
- I thought we were going
to the movies.Copy !req
554. Yeah. Nah, I mean, like,
what are we, like-Copy !req
555. What's going on here, with us?Copy !req
556. I don't know.Copy !req
557. Who cares?Copy !req
558. I'm happy. Aren't you happy?
- Yeah.Copy !req
559. Good.Copy !req
560. London, 1964.Copy !req
561. Those girls knew how to dress.Copy !req
562. Nowadays, it's all
these giant sunglasses...Copy !req
563. and tattoos.Copy !req
564. It's handbags with
little dogs in them.Copy !req
565. Who okayed this?
Some people like it.Copy !req
566. I like how you dress.Copy !req
567. I was thinking about
getting a butterfly tattoo
about yea big on my ankle.Copy !req
568. No.Copy !req
569. Oh.Copy !req
570. Yo.Copy !req
571. How's it going?Copy !req
572. Uh, okay.Copy !req
573. You live around here?Copy !req
574. Um, yeah, not too far.Copy !req
575. I've never
seen you here before.Copy !req
576. You're not too observant.Copy !req
577. That's funny. You're funny.Copy !req
578. So let me buy you a drink.
- No, Thank you.Copy !req
579. You with this guy?
- Hey, I'm Tom.Copy !req
580. Whatever.
So, come on. One drink.
What are you drinking?Copy !req
581. I said no, thanks.Copy !req
582. You're serious? This guy?Copy !req
583. Hey, buddy-
You know what?
Don't be rude.Copy !req
584. I'm flattered,
but I'm not interested.Copy !req
585. So why don't you go over there
and leave us alone? Thanks.Copy !req
586. It's a free country.Copy !req
587. I can't believe
this is your boyfriend.Copy !req
588. What are you doing?Copy !req
589. It was really just a crazy thing.Copy !req
590. It happened like-
It felt like it happened
fast, but really,Copy !req
591. it- it also felt like it
was happening really slowly,Copy !req
592. like everything all was just-Copy !req
593. I don't know. It doesn't
feel like you think it would-Copy !req
594. Hey, what's the matter?Copy !req
595. I just- I can't believe you.Copy !req
596. You can't believe me?Copy !req
597. You were so completely,
completely uncool in there.Copy !req
598. Wait. Are you mad at me?
I just got my ass kicked for you.Copy !req
599. Oh, really? Was that for me?
Was that for my benefit?Copy !req
600. Yes, it was.Copy !req
601. Okay, well, next time don't,
'cause I don't need your help.Copy !req
602. You know what?
I'm really tired.Copy !req
603. Can we talk about this tomorrow?Copy !req
604. No. You know what?Copy !req
605. I'm not going anywhere
till you tell me what's going on.Copy !req
606. Nothing's going on.Copy !req
607. We're just-Copy !req
608. What? We're just what?Copy !req
609. We're just friends.
- No! Don't pull that with me!Copy !req
610. Don't even try to-Copy !req
611. This is not how
you treat your friend.Copy !req
612. Kissing in the copy room?
Holding hands in IKEA?Copy !req
613. Shower sex? Come on!
Friends, my balls!Copy !req
614. I like you, Tom.
I just don't want a relationship-Copy !req
615. Well, you're not the only one
that gets a say in this!Copy !req
616. I do too! And I say we're
a couple, goddamn it!Copy !req
617. After you, please.Copy !req
618. I shouldn't have done that.Copy !req
619. Done what?
- Gotten mad at you.Copy !req
620. I'm sorry.Copy !req
621. Look, we don't have to
put a label on it.Copy !req
622. That's fine. I get it.Copy !req
623. But, you know, I just-
I need some consistency.Copy !req
624. I know.Copy !req
625. I need to know that
you're not gonna wake up
in the morning...Copy !req
626. and... feel differently.Copy !req
627. And I can't give you that.Copy !req
628. Nobody can.Copy !req
629. That hurt? I'm sorry.Copy !req
630. No, it doesn't hurt.Copy !req
631. I like you.Copy !req
632. All right.Copy !req
633. Shh. well, what about you?
- Did you ever even
have a boyfriend?Copy !req
634. Well, of course.
- Yeah?Copy !req
635. Yeah.
Well, tell me about them.Copy !req
636. No.
- Oh? why not?Copy !req
637. Because it's not important.Copy !req
638. I'm interested.Copy !req
639. All right. Fine.
You want to go there?Copy !req
640. Yeah. I can take it.
- Fine.Copy !req
641. So-Copy !req
642. Well, in high school
there was Markus.Copy !req
643. Quarterback-slash-homecoming king?Copy !req
644. No. He was a rower.Copy !req
645. He was very hot.Copy !req
646. For a brief time in college
there was, um- there was Charlie.Copy !req
647. She was nice, but-Copy !req
648. And then there was
my semester in Sienna.Copy !req
649. Fernando Belardelli.Copy !req
650. Also known as "The Puma."Copy !req
651. - The Puma?
- Yeah, The Puma, 'cause, you know.Copy !req
652. So-Copy !req
653. Oh, that's it?
- The ones that lasted, yeah.Copy !req
654. What happened? Why-
Why didn't they work out?Copy !req
655. What always happens. Life.Copy !req
656. That's the dumbest thing
I've ever heard.Copy !req
657. No, it's not.
- It's awesome. Trust me.Copy !req
658. I'm serious.Copy !req
659. I'll go first.Copy !req
660. Penis.Copy !req
661. Penis.Copy !req
662. Penis!
Penis!Copy !req
663. Penis!
There's kids around.Copy !req
664. There are no kids around.Copy !req
665. Penis!
Penis!Copy !req
666. You having fun?
- Yeah.Copy !req
667. This is the kind of thing
you did with The Puma, isn't it?Copy !req
668. Oh, we rarely left the room.Copy !req
669. Penis!Copy !req
670. Sorry. Tourette's.
You know how it is.
Penis!Copy !req
671. She has it too. Penis!
Penis!Copy !req
672. Shh. Everyone's
looking over here.
- I'm done. I'm done.Copy !req
673. Are you done?
- I'm done.Copy !req
674. You're done?
- Yeah.Copy !req
675. This is too much.
- Unleash me. I'm done.Copy !req
676. Promise?
- I promise.Copy !req
677. I promise.Copy !req
678. Penis!Copy !req
679. It's very complex.
- Mmm.Copy !req
680. In a way, it sort of, like,Copy !req
681. says... so much...Copy !req
682. by...Copy !req
683. saying so little.Copy !req
684. Do you want to go to the movies?
- Yep.Copy !req
685. Suffering.Copy !req
686. So much suffering.Copy !req
687. Suffering.
Suffering.Copy !req
688. T-Tom?Copy !req
689. Mr. Vance would like to
see you in his office.Copy !req
690. Tom.Copy !req
691. Have a seat.Copy !req
692. Has something happened
to you recently?Copy !req
693. What do you mean?Copy !req
694. A death in the family,
someone taken ill-
Anything like that.Copy !req
695. No.Copy !req
696. Look, I don't mean to pry, but...Copy !req
697. does this have something to do
with Summer leaving?Copy !req
698. Who?
My assistant.Copy !req
699. Your, um-
Tom, everyone knows.Copy !req
700. Never mind.Copy !req
701. The reason I'm asking is,
lately your work performance...Copy !req
702. has been... a little off.Copy !req
703. I'm not following.
- Okay.Copy !req
704. Um, here's something
that you wrote last week.Copy !req
705. Uh, "Roses are red,
violets are blue.Copy !req
706. Fuck you, whore."Copy !req
707. Now, most shoppers
at Valentine's Day-Copy !req
708. Mr. Vance, are you firing me?
- No. No.Copy !req
709. Relax, Hansen.
You're one of the good ones.Copy !req
710. Okay. Uh, yeah, I'm sorry.Copy !req
711. Things have been a little difficult.Copy !req
712. That's okay. I completely
understand that.Copy !req
713. I'm just saying
that perhaps you could
channel those energies,Copy !req
714. um, into something like this.Copy !req
715. Funerals and sympathy.Copy !req
716. Misery, sadness, loss of faith,Copy !req
717. no reason to live.Copy !req
718. This is perfect for you.Copy !req
719. Uh-
- Good. Okay.Copy !req
720. Now back to work you go.Copy !req
721. Thank you.Copy !req
722. Hey.
- Hey.Copy !req
723. Don't you have, like,
20 cards to write by Friday?
- Nope. All done.Copy !req
724. Really? Can you help me?
'Cause I've run out of ways
to say "congrats."Copy !req
725. Okay. I got "Good job,"
"Well done" and "Way to go."Copy !req
726. That's it.Copy !req
727. How 'bout, "Every day
you make me proud,Copy !req
728. but today you get a card."Copy !req
729. Shit, that's good!
- I know.Copy !req
730. Have you tried "Merry"?Copy !req
731. Wow! That's perfect! Merry!
- Wow!Copy !req
732. We've been stuck on this
for an hour.Copy !req
733. Hmm. How about...Copy !req
734. "I love us"?Copy !req
735. Aw.Copy !req
736. I hate Summer.Copy !req
737. I hate her crooked teeth.Copy !req
738. I hate her 1960s haircut.Copy !req
739. I hate her knobby knees.Copy !req
740. And I hate her cockroach-shaped
splotch on her neck.Copy !req
741. I hate the way she smacks her lips
before she talks.Copy !req
742. And I hate the way she sounds
when she laughs.Copy !req
743. I hate this song!Copy !req
744. Son, you're gonna
have to exit the vehicle.Copy !req
745. I normally don't do blind dates,Copy !req
746. but Paul and Robyn spoke
very highly of you.Copy !req
747. Ah.
- They said you write
greeting cards.Copy !req
748. That's so interesting.
I wanted to write.Copy !req
749. I actually majored
in English in college,Copy !req
750. but what are you gonna do
with that degree?Copy !req
751. I went to Brown.
Where did you go?
- Alison.Copy !req
752. Hmm?Copy !req
753. Listen, it's great to meet you,Copy !req
754. and... you're a very attractive girl.Copy !req
755. I just wanted to say up front
that this isn't-Copy !req
756. It's not gonna go anywhere.
- Oh.Copy !req
757. I liked this girl.
I mean, I loved her.Copy !req
758. What does she do?Copy !req
759. She took a giant shit
on my face.Copy !req
760. Literally.
- Literally?Copy !req
761. Not literally.
That's disgusting. Jesus.Copy !req
762. What's the matter with you?Copy !req
763. The point is,Copy !req
764. I'm messed up. I am.Copy !req
765. You know, on the one hand,
I want to forget her.Copy !req
766. On the other hand,Copy !req
767. I know that she's the only person
in the entire universe
that will make me happy.Copy !req
768. Mm-hmm.
- You ever do this?Copy !req
769. You think back on the times
you had with someone, replay it
in your head over and over again,Copy !req
770. and you look for those
first signs of trouble.Copy !req
771. There's two options really.Copy !req
772. Either... she's an evil,Copy !req
773. emotionless,
miserable human being,Copy !req
774. or... she's a robot.Copy !req
775. Small Wonder.
- You know, Vicki.Copy !req
776. That would explain
a lot actually.
- Can I ask you a question?Copy !req
777. Yeah.
- She never cheated on you?Copy !req
778. No. Never.
- She ever take advantage
of you in any way?Copy !req
779. No.Copy !req
780. And she told you up front
that she didn't want a boyfriend.Copy !req
781. Yeah.Copy !req
782. I got a great idea.Copy !req
783. Oh, fine! Go!
That's fine. See ya.Copy !req
784. Waste of time.
You don't look anything
like Summer.Copy !req
785. Now departing on Track 2,
Pacific Surfliner.Copy !req
786. Full service to Santa Barbara.Copy !req
787. All aboard, please.Copy !req
788. Hey, baby.
- Hey, you here?Copy !req
789. Hell no.
- What do you mean,
"Hell no"?Copy !req
790. I'm not going to that.
- Yes, you are.Copy !req
791. No, man. It's gonna be
all old people.Copy !req
792. Yeah, but you said you were going.
That's why I'm going.Copy !req
793. And that's why
I called her last night,
told her I was sick.Copy !req
794. Like a ninja.
Dude! I'm gonna- I'm not gonna
know anybody at this thing.Copy !req
795. Maybe you'll meet
some hot granddaughters
or something.Copy !req
796. I'm hanging up now.
Bye, baby.Copy !req
797. May I have your attention, please?Copy !req
798. Passengers boarding the train
in Los Angeles, please...Copy !req
799. have your tickets out
and ready for collection.Copy !req
800. Hi, Tom!Copy !req
801. Hey. Summer.Copy !req
802. I must have walked right by you.
- Yeah.Copy !req
803. Well, um, what are you doing?
Are you going to Millie's?Copy !req
804. Me too.
Cool.Copy !req
805. - I forgot you knew her.
- Yeah, we worked together
all that time, so-Copy !req
806. of course.
I love Millie.
She's the sweetest.Copy !req
807. She is.Copy !req
808. - How are you?
- I'm good.Copy !req
809. Good. I- I wrote to you.
I never heard back, but-Copy !req
810. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry about that.
I- I just, you know-Copy !req
811. It got kind of crazy,
and the holidays came up,
so work was-Copy !req
812. You still working for Vance?Copy !req
813. Yeah.Copy !req
814. Well, I was gonna go get a coffee
if you wanna-Copy !req
815. "The Architecture of Happiness."Copy !req
816. Yeah.
- That looks like a good book.Copy !req
817. Yeah, it's-Copy !req
818. Well, I don't want to bother you.
- No, no. I, um-Copy !req
819. Yeah, let's get coffee.Copy !req
820. After you.Copy !req
821. You look nice.
- Thanks.Copy !req
822. Penis.Copy !req
823. No.Copy !req
824. I now pronounce you
husband and wife.Copy !req
825. You may kiss the bride.Copy !req
826. Okay. What else you got?Copy !req
827. Well, you snore.
- No, I don't.Copy !req
828. You do.
- No, I don't.Copy !req
829. Yeah.
- Well, you do too.Copy !req
830. Oh, I definitely do.
And your feet reek.Copy !req
831. That one time!
- No, every time.Copy !req
832. That one time!
No.Copy !req
833. That one time especially,
but every time.Copy !req
834. And when you wake up,
your hair, it sticks up like that.Copy !req
835. It's ridiculous.
- You're ridiculous.Copy !req
836. Your favorite Beatle is Ringo.Copy !req
837. Damn right!Copy !req
838. Ringo's the best.
- Ringo is-Copy !req
839. Goose!
Oh! oh! oh!Copy !req
840. Man! He's fast. Damn! All right.Copy !req
841. You got me. Duck.Copy !req
842. Duck.Copy !req
843. One, two, three.Copy !req
844. Wanna dance?
- Yeah.Copy !req
845. Okay.Copy !req
846. I was gonna maybe have
a party on Friday, um,Copy !req
847. on our roof top that has,
like, a really nice garden,Copy !req
848. if you want to come.Copy !req
849. If you're not busy.Copy !req
850. They're good, huh?
- They are good.Copy !req
851. I guess I just got lucky.Copy !req
852. Um, we met in elementary school.Copy !req
853. In seventh grade
we had the same class schedule,Copy !req
854. and, uh,Copy !req
855. we just clicked, you know?Copy !req
856. Love?Copy !req
857. Shit, I don't know.Copy !req
858. As long as she's cute
and she's willing, right?Copy !req
859. I'm flexible on the cute, so-Copy !req
860. Twenty-one years.Copy !req
861. She's the light that guides me home.Copy !req
862. Yes, that is from one of our cards.Copy !req
863. No. Someone else wrote it.Copy !req
864. Doesn't make it less true.Copy !req
865. I think technically
the "girl of my dreams"...Copy !req
866. would probably have, like,
a really bodacious rack, you know.Copy !req
867. Maybe different hair.Copy !req
868. Probably-
You know, she'd probably be
a little more into sports.Copy !req
869. But, um, truthfully,Copy !req
870. Robyn's- Robyn's better
than the girl of my dreams.Copy !req
871. She's real.Copy !req
872. Tom walked to her apartment,Copy !req
873. intoxicated by the promise of the evening.Copy !req
874. his expectations would align with reality.Copy !req
875. Hi.
- Hey.Copy !req
876. Yeah. Thanks.Copy !req
877. I like your tie. Wow!
- Hi.Copy !req
878. How you doing?
- Good. How are you?Copy !req
879. You shouldn't have.
That's so nice.
It's the-Copy !req
880. Thank you so much.
- No problem.Copy !req
881. I'm excited to read it.
- Yeah.Copy !req
882. Come on.Copy !req
883. - So, Tom, what is it that you do?
- Uh, I write greeting cards.Copy !req
884. Tom could be
a really great architect
if he wanted to be.Copy !req
885. That's unusual.Copy !req
886. I mean, what made you go
from one to the other?Copy !req
887. I guess I just figured,Copy !req
888. why make something disposable,
like a building,Copy !req
889. when you can make something
that lasts forever, like a greeting card?Copy !req
890. I've been calling you
every five minutes.
Are you okay?Copy !req
891. I'm great.
- What happened to you?Copy !req
892. I don't wanna talk about it.
- You always wanna
talk about it.Copy !req
893. Not this.
- Okay. Well, come on.
Let's go.Copy !req
894. Where are we going?
- It's Thursday!Copy !req
895. This one says, "Go for it!"Copy !req
896. And this one says,
"You can do it!"Copy !req
897. We have a whole line
of inspirational photographic cards...Copy !req
898. featuring Pickles, my cat.Copy !req
899. I think people will really enjoy them.Copy !req
900. - Thank you.
- Good job, Rhoda.Copy !req
901. That's inspirational stuff.Copy !req
902. Okay. Who's next?Copy !req
903. We haven't heard from
Sympathy in a while.Copy !req
904. Hansen?
- Yeah?Copy !req
905. The Winter Collection?
Do you have anything
to contribute?Copy !req
906. Uh, no.Copy !req
907. I really don't.Copy !req
908. Okay.Copy !req
909. We'll come back to you.
Uh, McKenzie?Copy !req
910. Actually, you know what?
- Yes, Tom?Copy !req
911. Can I say something about the cat?
- Well, okay.Copy !req
912. Yeah, uh, this is-Copy !req
913. And, Rhoda, no disrespect here,Copy !req
914. but, um, this is total shit.Copy !req
915. Tom!
"Go for it" and "You can do it"?Copy !req
916. That's not inspirational.
That's suicidal.Copy !req
917. If Pickles goes for it right there,
that's a dead cat.Copy !req
918. These are lies. We're liars.Copy !req
919. Think about it.
Why do people buy these things?Copy !req
920. It's not 'cause they want
to say how they feel.Copy !req
921. People buy cards 'cause
they can't say how they feel,
or they're afraid to.Copy !req
922. We provide the service
that lets them off the hook.Copy !req
923. You know what?
I say, to hell with it!
Let's level with America.Copy !req
924. At least let them speak
for themselves! Right?Copy !req
925. I mean, look! What- what is this?
What does it say?Copy !req
926. "Congratulations
on your new baby." Right?Copy !req
927. How 'bout, "Congratulations
on your new baby.Copy !req
928. - That's it for hanging out.
Nice knowing you."
- Sit down, Hansen.Copy !req
929. How 'bout this one, with all
the pretty hearts on the front?
I know where this is going. Yep!Copy !req
930. "Happy Valentine's Day,
sweetheart. I love you."Copy !req
931. That sweet? Ain't love grand?Copy !req
932. This is exactly
what I'm talking about.Copy !req
933. What does that even mean, "love"?Copy !req
934. Do you know? Do you? Anybody?Copy !req
935. Tom.Copy !req
936. If somebody gave me this card,
Mr. Vance, I would eat it.Copy !req
937. It's- It's these cards,
and the movies, and the pop songs-Copy !req
938. They're to blame for all the lies...Copy !req
939. and the heartache, everything.Copy !req
940. And we're responsible.
I'm responsible.Copy !req
941. I think we do a bad thing here.Copy !req
942. People should be able
to say how they feel-
how they really feel-Copy !req
943. not, you know, some words
that some strangers
put in their mouths.Copy !req
944. Words like "love"...Copy !req
945. that don't mean anything.Copy !req
946. Sorry. I'm sorry. I, uh-Copy !req
947. I quit. I'm-Copy !req
948. There's enough bullshit
in the world without my help.Copy !req
949. All right. Next we do running drills.Copy !req
950. Hey, you're sketching again.Copy !req
951. Yeah, well, just doodling.Copy !req
952. Okay, Tom. we got 20 seconds.
Talk to me. You okay?Copy !req
953. Yeah, I'm good. I'm great.Copy !req
954. You know, my friends
are all in love with you.Copy !req
955. You know, it's like we said.Copy !req
956. Plenty of other fish in the sea.
- Thanks.Copy !req
957. But, uh, those are guppies.Copy !req
958. Yeah.Copy !req
959. Hey, Tom?
- Mmm.Copy !req
960. Look, I know you think
that she was the one,Copy !req
961. but I don't.Copy !req
962. Now, I think you're just
remembering the good stuff.Copy !req
963. Next time you look back, I, uh-Copy !req
964. I really think
you should look again.Copy !req
965. It's playing at 5:00.
Do you wanna see it?Copy !req
966. Um, I don't know.
We could just go back
to your place or-Copy !req
967. No, I really want to see it.
Let's go.Copy !req
968. You okay?
- Yeah.Copy !req
969. What- what is it?
The movie?Copy !req
970. It's nothing. I'm just-
I'm just being stupid.Copy !req
971. Yeah?
- Yeah.Copy !req
972. It pains me we live in a world...Copy !req
973. where nobody's heard
of Spearmint.Copy !req
974. I've never heard of them.
- I put 'em on that mix
I made you.Copy !req
975. They're track one.Copy !req
976. Oh, yeah.Copy !req
977. So, what do you wanna do?Copy !req
978. I think I'm just gonna
call it a day.Copy !req
979. You don't wanna
get some dinner?
Are you hungry?Copy !req
980. You all right?Copy !req
981. I'm just tired.
- Okay.Copy !req
982. I got it. Pancakes!Copy !req
983. Hey, Tom.Copy !req
984. I thought I might see you here.Copy !req
985. I always loved this place,
ever since you brought me.Copy !req
986. So I, uh-Copy !req
987. I guess I should say
congratulations.Copy !req
988. Only if you mean it.Copy !req
989. Ah. Well, in that case-Copy !req
990. So, are you okay?Copy !req
991. I will be, eventually.Copy !req
992. You wanna-
- Hmm.Copy !req
993. I like your suit.
- Ah, thanks.Copy !req
994. You look sharp.Copy !req
995. So do you.
Thanks.Copy !req
996. I quit the office.
- You did?Copy !req
997. I didn't know. That's great!Copy !req
998. And you, um-Copy !req
999. you're married.Copy !req
1000. Yeah. It's crazy, huh?Copy !req
1001. You should have told me
when we were at the-
I know.Copy !req
1002. You know, at the wedding
when we were dancing.Copy !req
1003. Well, he hadn't asked me yet.
But he was in your life.Copy !req
1004. Yeah.
- So why'd you dance with me?Copy !req
1005. 'Cause I wanted to.Copy !req
1006. You just do what you want,
don't you?Copy !req
1007. You never wanted to be
anybody's girlfriend,Copy !req
1008. and now you're somebody's wife.Copy !req
1009. Surprised me too.Copy !req
1010. I don't think I'll ever
understand that.Copy !req
1011. I mean,
it doesn't make sense.Copy !req
1012. It just happened.Copy !req
1013. Right, but that's what
I don't understand.
What just happened?Copy !req
1014. I just- I just woke up one day,
and I knew.Copy !req
1015. Knew what?Copy !req
1016. What I was never sure of with you.Copy !req
1017. You know what sucks?Copy !req
1018. Realizing that everything
you believe in is complete
and utter bullshit.Copy !req
1019. It sucks.
- What do you mean?Copy !req
1020. Uh, you know, destiny,
and soul mates, and true love,Copy !req
1021. and all that childhood
fairy tale nonsense.Copy !req
1022. You were right.
I- I should have listened to you.Copy !req
1023. No.
- Yeah. What?
What are you smiling at?Copy !req
1024. Tom.
- What?Copy !req
1025. What are you looking at me
like that for?Copy !req
1026. Well, you know,Copy !req
1027. I guess it's 'cause...Copy !req
1028. I was sitting in a deli
and reading Dorian GrayCopy !req
1029. and... a guy comes up to me...Copy !req
1030. and asked me about it,Copy !req
1031. and... now he's my husband.Copy !req
1032. Yeah. And... so?Copy !req
1033. So, what if I'd gone to the movies?Copy !req
1034. What if I had gone
somewhere else for lunch?Copy !req
1035. What if I'd gotten there
10 minutes later?Copy !req
1036. It was-Copy !req
1037. It was meant to be.Copy !req
1038. And I just kept thinking,Copy !req
1039. Tom was right.
- No.Copy !req
1040. Yeah, I did.Copy !req
1041. I did.Copy !req
1042. It just wasn't me
that you were right about.Copy !req
1043. I should go.Copy !req
1044. But I'm really happy to see
that you're doing well.Copy !req
1045. Summer!Copy !req
1046. I really do hope
that you're happy.Copy !req
1047. Most days of the year
are unremarkable.Copy !req
1048. They begin and they end...Copy !req
1049. with no lasting memories
made in between.Copy !req
1050. Most days have no impact...Copy !req
1051. on the course of a life.Copy !req
1052. May 23 was a Wednesday.Copy !req
1053. Are you interviewing?
- Sorry?Copy !req
1054. Are you interviewing
for the position?Copy !req
1055. Oh, yeah. Why? Are you?
- Yeah.Copy !req
1056. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
1057. My competition.Copy !req
1058. It would appear.Copy !req
1059. Yeah. So, a little awkward.Copy !req
1060. Yeah.Copy !req
1061. Well, I hope you, um,
don't get the job.Copy !req
1062. Well, I hope you
don't get the job.Copy !req
1063. Have I seen you before?Copy !req
1064. Me? I don't think so.Copy !req
1065. Do you ever go
to Angelus Plaza?Copy !req
1066. Yes. That's, like,
my favorite spot in the city.Copy !req
1067. Yeah. Okay. Except for
the parking lots, but-Copy !req
1068. Yeah. I- I agree.
- Yeah, yeah.Copy !req
1069. I think I've seen you there.
- Really?Copy !req
1070. Yeah.
- I haven't seen you.Copy !req
1071. You must not
have been looking.Copy !req
1072. If Tom had learned anything,Copy !req
1073. it was that you can't ascribe
great cosmic significance...Copy !req
1074. to a simple earthly event.Copy !req
1075. Coincidence.
That's all anything ever is.Copy !req
1076. Nothing more than coincidence.Copy !req
1077. Tom Hansen.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1078. Come on back.
- Thank you.Copy !req
1079. Tom had finally learned
there are no miracles.Copy !req
1080. There's no such thing as fate.Copy !req
1081. Nothing is meant to be.Copy !req
1082. He knew. He was sure of it now.Copy !req
1083. Tom was-
- Sorry. Um-Copy !req
1084. I just left, uh-
Can I- one second.Copy !req
1085. He was pretty sure.Copy !req
1086. - Hey.
- You again.Copy !req
1087. Yeah. I, uh, was just wondering...Copy !req
1088. if maybe after this, if, um, you-Copy !req
1089. you want to get some coffee
or something.Copy !req
1090. Oh, I'm sorry.Copy !req
1091. I'm sort of supposed to
meet someone after this.Copy !req
1092. Okay.Copy !req
1093. Sure.Copy !req
1094. What's that?
Why not?Copy !req
1095. Okay. Well, then I'll just, uh-
I'll wait for you-Copy !req
1096. We- We'll figure it out.
We'll figure it out.Copy !req
1097. - My name's Tom.
- Nice to meet you. I'm Autumn.Copy !req
