[♪♪♪]

JOANNA: You feel different?

PETER: Completely.

But after 12 years of school

and all we get is a piece of paper...

kind of a rip off.

I mean we deserve, like,

one of those iPod things or something.

Heh. No one actually uses those.

Whoo! We did it!

Here, Chloe. Take a picture of us.

Okay, group photo.

CHLOE: Uh, this is not my job.

Hi. Who's that?

Wait. No, put the camera on us.

Why are you taking pictures of my guy friends?

It's so embarrassing.

Bye, Lisa.

CHLOE: Hi, I'm Chloe. I go here.

So, you leave Monday, right?

Yeah.

Three months of sightseeing

and gorging on steak frites,

watching my mom pretend to speak French.

When are you coming back?

Uh, well, the trip got extended a little bit

so I think I'll be back for like a day or two

in August but then I have to head to Brown.

So I'm actually not sure if we'll see each other.

[♪♪♪]

So I guess this is goodbye?

Let's look at it as to be continued.

[♪♪♪]

PETER: So how are things going, man?

Chloe and I are easy. It's good.

But maybe too good.

I mean there hasn't been any drama, which is weird for us.

and I hate to admit this, but like, I kind of thrive on it.

You know, it's making me a little nervous.

No drama makes you nervous?

I don't get you, man.

Okay, hear me out.

So when we first started dating we had that, like,

unpredictable, anything can happen,

do it on the playground type of vibe, right?

And now it's Costco trips, doing laundry type of vibe.

Don't worry. I'm sure there'll be much drama

ahead in the land of joint laundry.

Yeah, I hope so.

I don't know.

It's time to shake things up.

Mm. So how are things going with Sarah?

We've been hanging out.

It's nice to be with someone

who has their stuff together.

Now that I'm 30, I don't want to waste my time anymore.

I hear you, man.

All right.

Uh, sopranos came in a little late on the verse.

Altos, let's check on that harmony at the end.

But overall so good, you guys.

[APPLAUDING] So good.

Reminder, the spring semi-formal is this Friday.

So if anyone wants to volunteer to help set up

for that, the sign up sheet is outside of the gym.

Are you gonna be there, Miss Taylor?

[CHUCKLES]

I would love to,

uh, but Friday's actually my birthday.

Believe it or not, teachers have lives outside of school.

It's crazy. Okay, see you guys tomorrow.

You want to hang out after school?

I actually need to study for the history test

but maybe we could study together.

HENRY: Sounds good.

Oh, wow. Hi, Chloe.

Um, why are you here?

I keep a key for emergencies,

and we have an emergency.

Okay, then, uh, why are you using my nail polish

and drinking my coconut water?

I think Mark is cheating on me.

What? Are you serious?

Yes, all the classic signs are there.

He put a passcode on his phone

and he leaves at odd hours

and comes home smelling very girly.

You know how I am about smells.

There's got to be an explanation.

I'm sure.

Have you talked to Peter?

Does he know anything?

No.

Um, we really haven't spoken in weeks. So...

Hey, I know you're sad about Peter.

But the easiest way to feel better is to get out there

and meet more guys.

I'm going out with someone tonight,

but I just feel like

lately dating's just been like reciting my bio

and going through the motions.

Yeah, but that's what it takes to move on.

Isn't that what you want?

[DOORBELL RINGS]

My Postmates is here.

Yeah so, Brown, and then finance in Singapore,

then India, and then some traveling, and now I'm here.

Cool.

How do you like being back?

It's all right.

It took me a little bit to adjust, but...

[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

Is dating any different here than overseas?

Uh, you know, it's exactly the same.

Sucks there, sucks here.

[LAUGHS]

Yeah, I hear you.

I feel like when you're 30

you want to get past the dating part

as soon as possible and just get to the actual relationship.

You know, it's kind of like no games, no nonsense.

We know what we want.

Tsk, yeah, we should.

I don't mean to be too personal, but have you been

in anything serious since you've been back?

Uh, yeah, actually I kind of reconnected

with my best guy friend from high school.

But I screwed it up, so...

I guess it wasn't meant to be.

Yeah, I guess not.

Where are you going?

I've got a business meeting.

At 10 at night?

Yeah, it's these, uh, investors.

They're from overseas so, you know,

the whole time difference or whatever.

Anyways, I'll be gone for about an hour.

Might be a little longer, so don't wait up.

Happy birthday to you

[ALL APPLAUDING]

Aw, you guys, thank you.

That is the best present I've gotten in a really long time.

We know it's not 'til Friday but we wanted to wish you

a happy birthday since you won't be at the dance.

Sorry to miss it.

I always loved dances back when I was in high school.

Anyways, get out of here.

Go, go, go. Have fun you guys.

[♪♪♪]

So, do you have a date to the dance?

Not yet, still hoping somebody will ask me though.

I'm sure someone will.

I'll see you later?

Yeah.

Okay, you know what? Following him was a mistake.

There's got to be an explanation

why he's at Sawhorse right now.

No one goes to a bar during the day

unless they're having an affair

or they're an alcoholic, or they're a bartender.

Or if they just want to go to the bar during the day.

You know what? Forget it. The point is

he's definitely having an affair.

And at the place where we first met.

I mean, what a scumbag.

What do I do?

The only way to put a stop to it is to go in

and to catch him.

Okay, Lisa. Uh...

I know I talk a big game and I, like, seem very confident but

I don't think I can take seeing him with another girl.

I really love him.

Chloe, you have to know.

Just go in there, and if you need backup

I'll be right out here.

Okay.

Okay, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna go in there.

And if I need you, I'll just scream, "Screw you, Mark!"

It's especially egregious that you're doing

this at the place where we first met!

If you had any decency you would take this woman

to a motel or something... not too nice.

Yeah, that's perfect. Short, sweet.

That's classic Chloe punch line. Kill it.

Be brave.

I don't want a fist bump.

Okay, I... thought I'd lighten the mood.

Hello?

Mark?

Hello, are you here?

[♪♪♪]

Hey.

Where is she?

Take a seat.

What?

What's going on? What are you--

Chloe, take a seat.

[♪♪♪]

Okay, this is the first date with Chloe.

I'm taking her to this really romantic restaurant.

She's gonna love it.

Okay, this is the first time I've been ghosted.

So now I'm gonna ghost bust.

Okay, so this is the first time I meet Chloe's sister

and I got her a sharsh... sharsh kitty board.

So this is the first time

me and Chloe got in a big argument.

And I still want to make it work.

That means something, right?

This is our first time celebrating an anniversary.

I mean it's only three months,

but I can't wait for the next three,

and then the next three...

Are you taking a selfie?

Don't take one without me.

What's up, you guys?

Get lit. Hashtag Friday. Heh.

It's a picture.

Put a filter on it.

This is the first time waking up next to my new roomie.

She just moved in.

Say, hi.

Okay.

[♪♪♪]

This is the first day of the rest of our lives.

Chloe,

from the first moment I met you here

I've been mesmerized and confounded,

and deeply insulted.

And I never want it to end.

You're the most beautiful, fascinating,

frustrating woman I've ever met.

And you keep me guessing.

And even though we said goodbye

to our wild and crazy single lives

and we've become boring people

in a serious relationship...

We're not boring.

Sorry, continue.

There's no one else

I'd rather be boring with.

Chloe,

will you marry me?

[CHUCKLING] Yes. Yes!

Oh, my God.

[YELLING AND APPLAUDING]

ALL: Surprise!

[♪♪♪]

[CHATTERING]

You know, Joanna's here.

I'm aware.

Are you gonna say something?

Not really in the mood.

Look, I don't totally know what happened between the two of you

but your best friend is marrying

into the family of her best friend.

So figure it out.

Suck it up because there's not always gonna be a big room

with a corner you can stand in. Okay?

Hey.

Hey.

Chloe and Mark, huh?

Yeah, crazy.

Ahem, so how are you?

Um... Good.

Uh, I ended up getting that long term sub position,

um, for the choir class.

That's great.

How's Sarah?

Fine.

You guys sure reconnected pretty quickly.

Well, is there something wrong with that?

I mean you and I weren't really together.

Come on, Peter.

We were together.

Are you serious, Joanna?

I know that I couldn't say it then, okay, but...

Yeah.

I needed time to figure it out and I did, okay?

And I went to your house to tell you and I--

Whoa, whoa, you went to my house?

Yes, and I saw you with her.

Do you know what that made me feel like?

Do you know how much that hurt me?

Look, I'm sorry about that, but you hurt me too.

You know, I didn't need time.

I've been wanting this

since I was 18 years old, Joanna.

I stood before you asking you for an answer,

but you couldn't give me one.

Do you know how badly that hurt me?

Okay, so we both hurt each other, okay,

but I can't stop thinking about us, okay,

I miss my best friend. I want you back, Peter.

Like, Mark and Chloe.

Like, how the hell are Mark and Chloe getting engaged today

and we're standing in the exact same spot

we were five months ago?

Just like, single.

Just searching for something more.

See, that's what this is all about for you.

You made that pact because you didn't want to be alone.

That's not true, okay?

I just feel like I'm never gonna be anything more

than just a backup plan.

No, Peter...

Okay. Look, I gotta go.

I'm sorry I won't be at your 30th.

Have a happy birthday.

[♪♪♪]

Okay, this is the first batch and...

Oh, here's the Caspe order. This needs to go out by Monday.

Business is not gonna fall apart

just because you're going to San Fran for a few days.

Okay, there's just a lot to take care of.

For the interview.

Yeah.

All right, Dashboard Confessional.

Jessie said the show was so good.

I'm really excited.

If we can find it.

Before I forget, I looked in my work schedule

and I might have a few weeks off in June.

So I could come visit you in San Francisco.

Yeah, let's hold off on making plans until I get the job.

I could just make the reservation anyway.

You know how things book up with summer travel.

And if you don't get it, we can just take a vacation.

Possibly. But let's not book anything yet.

Peter, what's the big deal with planning something

a few months in advance?

Just not sure where I'll be.

Wherever you're gonna be

we're still gonna be together, right?

I'm sorry, Sarah, I...

Are you serious?

I just don't know if I can do this anymore.

After all you put me through.

I know how it seems

but I'm just trying to be responsible here.

I'm such an idiot for trusting you.

I wasn't trying to hurt you, Sarah.

You know Peter, you play the nice guy part really well.

I bet all along I was just a way to get back at Joanna.

Classy.

I just know that I don't feel

the way I should feel

and I don't want to put you through that--

Save your breath.

You could have just said, "It's not you, it's me."

[♪♪♪]

[PHONE BEEPS]

Hey, you must be Peter.

Uh, you're interviewing with Tim, right?

Yeah, hi. I'm Peter...

Heh.

I'm sorry.

Nice to meet you. I'm Mia.

I work with Tim and I'm a part of the creative team here.

Nice to meet you, too. And I'm a huge fan of...

Well, actually everything you guys make.

Awesome. Well, if you're ready I'll take you up to meet Tim.

Yeah.

[♪♪♪]

I'm ready.

All right. Let's go.

So I saw your portfolio. Everything looks really nice.

BOTH: Happy birthday!

Dirty 30, stuff your face.

Very pretty, but I'm not really hungry.

No, no, you have to have one. Cupcake for breakfast.

I made them myself and I never make anything myself,

even when I say that I make them myself.

What's the plan for tonight?

Um, I think I'm just gonna chaperone the dance tonight.

Are you serious?

You're voluntarily choosing to spend your evening

with a bunch of awkward, hormonal, smelly teenagers

instead of us.

Yeah, I usually don't agree

with Chloe, but she's right. It's your birthday.

I just...

I really don't want to make a big deal out of today.

And the kids make me happy, so...

Yeah, no. I'm sure it'll be a swell time.

[♪♪♪]

LISA: Have you heard from Peter?

Mm. No.

It's fine.

So Josh told me you guys go way back.

Yeah, Josh is an old friend and it's been incredible

what he's been able to do here.

I would have joined from the beginning,

except I had to focus on my family's business.

Oh, is that the apparel business you're running in L.A.?

Yeah, my parents started it in the early 80s

when they first came to America.

Wow, man. That sounds like an amazing story.

So how's that going, working with them?

It's great. Um, you know, there are disagreements at times,

but I always say,

if you're able to work with your parents

you can pretty much work with anybody.

[TIM LAUGHS]

So, what made you finally decide to make the transition?

[♪♪♪]

I just had some encouragement from a good friend.

Well, hey, thanks again for coming in.

No, thank you for having me.

And this was a great opportunity.

Well, we really enjoyed it and we will follow up.

Okay.

All right.

Thank you.

Take care.

Bye-bye.

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING AND CHEERING]

Thanks. That was for

two people that fell in love

a long time ago

and just didn't know how to say it yet.

Thanks.

[♪♪♪]

TIM: Hey, Peter.

Are you around tonight?

A bunch of us are getting drinks.

I think it might be a good opportunity to introduce you

to some of the other members of the team.

Are you excited for tonight?

Yeah.

It's cool to go stag.

Heh. Maybe.

Well, I'm gonna go get some ribbons for all of these.

All right.

So no date tonight?

You know, there's still time to ask someone.

There's nobody I want to go with.

Really? No one?

Emma's like my best friend.

Yeah, that's why it'd be so great.

You have three hours. Get on it.

And if you don't ask her, tsk, I'm gonna have to fail you.

[LAUGHS]

[SIGHS]

PETER: Miss Taylor?

Peter.

What are you doing here?

It's your 30th birthday and I made a promise.

If you're still single and I'm still single--

I remember.

Is that why you're here?

Lisa sent me the video from the wedding.

I meant every word.

It was perfect.

I'm so sorry that I didn't trust you.

And, you know, I'm sorry that I--

[♪♪♪]

JOANNA: So this is what it takes to get Peter Ma

to a high school dance, huh?

Well, I had a date this time.

[BOTH LAUGH]

So I have something to tell you.

I got the job.

What? Peter, that's amazing!

Yeah, yeah, they called me when I got off the plane

and it'll be six months up there

and then I'll be transferred back to L.A.

Hey, you okay?

Yeah.

This is really exciting.

But I'm not sure if I should take the job.

What? No, no, you have to take it.

It's six months and hours away from you.

Peter, we waited 12 years.

What's six months?

How about you come with me?

You know, the school year will be done in a few weeks.

I would love to, but they actually offered me

this summer teaching position.

Oh, my gosh. Congratulations!

Yeah, so, I just--

I feel like I have to be here, you know?

I have to do this for me.

Yeah. I get it.

I kind of have to do this for me too.

You know, there's something else we could do.

We can make another pact and...

[BOTH LAUGH]

I will pour this all over your face.

I will do it. I'm just joking.

Look, I'm sure the time will fly by.

Yeah.

It's not goodbye.

It's to be continued.

[♪♪♪]

JOANNA [OVER PHONE]: Hey.

Hey.

How's it going, first day?

Heh. It's not bad.

I can't stop thinking about you.

Although L.A. has spoiled me.

I mean my apartment is the size of my old kitchen.

Heh. Well, I can help you make it feel more like home

when I come visit. Only a few more weeks.

Can't wait.

Hey, Peter, you coming?

Yeah, yeah, one second.

Who's that?

Yeah, she's one of my colleagues,

Mia. She put together this welcome

thing for me tonight.

Aw, that's cool.

That's so nice of her.

Well, I don't want to keep you

and, uh, I gotta prep the kids

for the concert tonight anyway, so...

Yeah, that's right.

Good luck.

Yo, come on, new guy.

Let's go. Everyone's waiting.

Oh, Peter, I...

...miss you.

[♪♪♪]
