I MEAN, IF--IF SHE WAS IN THERE?

(Anders) UH, YOU KNOW, JUST "HI."

JUST "HI"?

(chuckles) YEAH.

I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT I'D LIKE TO EXPLAIN.

OKAY. COME ON. GO AHEAD. EXPLAIN.

I--IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL,

BUT, UH, YOU KNOW, THINGS ENDED SO BADLY,

AND I JUST WANTED TO APOLOGIZE.

YOU KNOW, I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.

YOU GUYS WERE MADLY IN LOVE. I MEAN, WHAT HAPPENED?

GET BACK INSIDE. YOU WANNA GO HOME?

FINE.

(Anders sighs)

(engine starts)

(woman) SO WHAT HAPPENED WHEN BRENDA AND ANDERS BROKE UP?

OH, MAN, IT WAS RIDICULOUS.

IT WAS PANDEMONIUM. EVERYONE LOST THEIR MINDS.

WHY RIDICULOUS?

'CAUSE WE'RE 18, YOU KNOW, WE'RE--WE'RE--

SO WHY DID THEY BREAK UP?

I HAVE NO IDEA.

UH, IT WAS HONESTLY, TOTALLY OUT OF THE BLUE.

I MEAN, ACTUALLY, ON PROM NIGHT, THERE WERE RUMORS...

HMM. AND HOW LONG DID YOU GUYS DATE?

SIX MONTHS.

BRENDA AND ANDERS DATED FOR FOUR YEARS.

SO IF YOU DO THE MATH, TECHNICALLY,

THEY WERE APART LONGER THAN THEY WERE TOGETHER, SO... THAT'S TRUE.

YEAH. YOU KNOW, IT'S--IT'S--

IT'S ALL ABOUT HOW YOU LOOK AT IT,

LIKE LIFE.

SO IT DOESN'T BOTHER YOU THAT BRENDA IS BACK IN TOWN?

WE'RE HAPPY, AND WE HAVE A GOOD LIFE,

IT'S JUST SIMPLER WHEN YOU'RE 18. YOU KNOW?

IT'S LIKE--OR NOT SIMPLER, BUT, LIKE, MORE BLACK AND WHITE.

YOU KNOW?

IT'S LIKE EVERY EMOTION IS EITHER THE BEST OR THE WORST.

END OF STORY.

EVERY...

YOU KNOW, AND GIRLS-- THERE'S NO CONFUSION.

YOU KNOW, AND NOW IT'S JUST LIKE...

(woman) WAIT. ARE--ARE YOU STILL TALKING ABOUT BRENDA AND ANDERS?

OR ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOURSELF?

THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE ASKING ME ABOUT, RIGHT?

I WAS, BUT-- MM-HMM. YEAH. THAT'S WHAT I MEAN.

LIKE, THAT, YOU KNOW...

JUST--IT JUST GETS MORE COMPLICATED, YOU KNOW?

(chuckles)

OHH.

I THINK FOR EV--REALLY FOR EVERYBODY, YOU KNOW.

(woman) SO YOU WENT TO SEE BRENDA YESTERDAY.

I DID, YEAH.

AND HOW DID THAT GO? GREAT. I, UH, YEAH.

I HOPE ONE DAY WE CAN BE FRIENDS AGAIN.

FRIENDS? MM-HMM.

ANDERS, COME ON, TELL THE TRUTH. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

YOU WERE GONNA ASK HER TO MARRY YOU.

I MEAN, LOVE THAT LIKE DOESN'T DISAPPEAR OVERNIGHT.

(knock on door)

EXCUSE ME.

BRENDA.

YOU BOUGHT ME A RING?

UH...

IT'S A SIMPLE QUESTION.

I MEAN, DID YOU BUY ME A RING? YES OR NO?

YEAH. I'M GONNA TELL YOU SOMETHING, AND...

AND IT DOESN'T JUSTIFY..

IT DOESN'T JUSTIFY ANYTHING.

BUT... (sighs)

WE WERE 18,

AND YOU WERE THE...

(sighs) YOU WERE THE ONLY...

I KNEW.

OKAY?

I KNEW IT WAS YOU. I...

SO A MONTH BEFORE GRADUATION, I...

(sighs) I TOLD MY DAD...

AND HE LOST HIS MIND.

HE SAID I WAS 18, THAT I HAD MY WHOLE LIFE AHEAD OF ME.

HE SAID I COULD DO BETTER. BETTER THAN A MEXICAN GIRL?

YEAH.

AND I TOLD HIM TO GO SCREW HIMSELF.

BUT YOU KNOW MY DAD.

HE HATES TO LOSE.

HE TOLD ME THAT IF I...

(sighs deeply)

IF I DIDN'T BREAK UP WITH YOU...

HE'D RUIN YOUR FATHER.

HE SAID HE'D TELL EVERYONE THAT--

THAT YOUR DAD CUT CORNERS ON CONSTRUCTION,

THAT HE DOUBLE BILLED.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? YEAH. THAT HE WAS LOUSY AT HIS JOB.

AND I THOUGHT I WAS PROTECTING YOU.

AND MAYBE THAT WAS...

MAYBE THAT WAS WEAK.

BUT ALL I EVER WANTED WAS FOR YOU TO BE HAPPY.

(whispers) I HAVE TO GO. BUT...

I'M SORRY.

(car door opens and closes)

(engine starts)

Hey, you've reached Falcon. Leave a message at the beep. (beep)

(Steven) HEY, MAN, I'M AT YOUR PLACE, UH,

BUT I GOTTA HEAD OUT TO THE AIRPORT.
