* (slow tranquil music)

(tapping pen)

(tapping continues)

What?

-(phone ringing) -You--

Cichlid and Associates this is Sarah how may I help you?

He is in a meeting right now.

Absolutely I'll give him the message.

May I ask who's calling?

Lisa. Perfect.

Okay, he will call you back.

Thank you bye, bye.

Yes, Ms. Bethany?

(Bethany laughs)

You've met somebody.

* (slow tranquil music)

-Your pen is leaking. -Oh, oh, uh.

You know they--

(wiping ink stain)

I do not know what you're talking about.

You know what I'm talking about?

Yeah, that first blush of love

no, dude, I don't know anything about that.

-She's amazing. -So she's hot.

Man, she just

she just grabbed a hold of me like...

She's smart.

She studies art history.

She knows all these things about the artists.

It's like she can see what the artist was thinking.

Okay.

But she's hot, right?

What about you, dude, were you awesome?

(footsteps approaching)

* (slow tranquil music)

Can't help but notice you seem to like this one.

Well, it's very pleasant.

Yeah.

I don't think you're allowed that in here.

Well, ask them they sold it to me.

Yeah, they sold it to you outside

and I don't think they really care

if you spill it on the sculptures.

I think they might care.

Yeah, they probably care.

Are you always about

strictly following the rules?

Are you always about breaking the rules for no reason?

No, I just got distracted.

(loud bang)

I'm sorry.

I did buy this here.

No, man, I was smooth man.

He was a complete doofus but he was so sweet.

And he was so charming.

Be careful.

The charming ones you gotta watch out for.

You of all people do not get to give me man advice.

I've seen you break up marriages for sport.

I do not.

I simply exploit certain weakness.

It is a public service.

If not with me then those guys

are gonna cheat with someone else.

Some wives thank me.

There is something seriously wrong with you,

you know that right?

Yeah, I know that.

I'm just saying that

you're completely nuts.

Look dude I'm not taking relationship advice from you.

Your idea of a night of intimacy is

sitting on the couch alone naked

eating a bowel cereal listening to classical music

in the dark.

Don't insult me man.

Schoenberg is not classical.

I don't think that's correct.

Listen, Xander

it's not like I haven't seen this before, dude.

Okay, you fall for a girl something goes wrong.

You break up and then I have to spend three weeks

watching you be pissed and get drunk

and hate everything in the room.

I've seen you yell at clean laundry dude.

Are you concerned about me?

I'm your friend, bro.

I'm supposed to worry about you.

Sarah: You don't have to worry.

It's my job to worry. I'm your friend.

Maybe I'm just upset that you haven't brought this

wonderful new guy over to one of my mixers.

That is because I know that those mixers

are meat markets.

I like Xander way too much to expose with that

(snarling) you know what I'm talking about.

Well, fine then I just

I don't want you to fall into these silly stereotype traps.

Too many girls get so wrapped up in looking for someone

just like daddy.

(woman coughing)

No, no, no.

Xander is nothing like my father.

For one thing my father is gone.

He left and Xander...

(peaceful piano music)

Xander is here.

Jason: You sure you're even gonna stay?

Yeah, you know what if they offer me the Seattle job

I'm not even gonna take it.

Because she's here?

* (slow tranquil music)

Hi.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm okay. Because she's here.

And you're sure this is a good idea.

Yes, I'm sure she'll like it.

* (slow tranquil music)

Sarah: Good morning.

(man mumbling)

Xander: Feeling a little frisky?

(slow tranquil music)

Yeah, she'll like it.

Beth: Like.

Love.

-I love him. -Love.

Oh, love can be fun but...

Oscar: Good morning, ladies.

Beth: Good morning, Oscar.

Terrible traffic they really ought to...

Well, that's the nice thing about being the boss.

Thank you.

* Yeah baby

* That's what I'm talking' about *

-Don't you work here? -Indeed I do, sir.

So why aren't you working?

Well, I was waiting for the executive architect to arrive

but he's a bit late.

Oh (laughs) yes quite.

You know if that guy breaks your heart

I will cut off his balls.

Beth, sweetie darling

if you go anywhere near his balls

I will tell everyone your real age.

I've corrupted you well.

(phone chiming)

Hello.

Aunt Clare, how are you?

Is everything okay?

I am so sorry.

What do you want me to do?

* Yeah baby

* That's what I'm talking' about *

Hi, I'm looking for Sarah.

She's here.

She's just away for the moment.

Yeah.

Is there anything I could help you with?

I'll just wait for her.

Okay.

Look what I found.

-Sarah: Hi. -Hey.

-Sarah: Hey. -I was gonna take you to lunch.

Oh, okay.

Beth, there's something wrong with the

Can you go help him before he accidentally reformat his hard drive again?

Don't click any buttons, sir, I'm on my way.

I expect to be formally introduced later.

-Great meeting you. -Bye.

-That would be... -That would be Beth.

Beth, right does she always wait right there

ready to ambush whoever.

Only when a very cute guy might walk in.

Yeah, or the delivery guys

or a rich client

or when she's bored.

So just whoever...

-Yeah. -Yeah.

You have strange friends.

Oh, come on you're one to talk.

(slow classical music)

Woman: (yelling )Turn it down!

Yeah, that's fair. That's fair.

Hey, so that thing I was gonna do tomorrow got canceled

so I'm free.

I have to go to Aunt Clare's house

so I don't know if you're gonna wanna come with me?

Yeah, no, of course. I'd love to meet Aunt Clare.

What's the occasion?

Do you wanna go to a party?

(telephone ringing)

(lively dance music)

Hi.

* Everywhere I go I see some people

* They drink more than they

That's not what I thought you meant when you said party.

It gets better trust me.

Susan wanted us to celebrate her life not mope about it

and that's what we're gonna do dammit.

Sarah, honey thank you so much.

I'd be going nuts without your help.

Not a problem.

You should give yourself a break

before you run yourself ragged okay.

-Yeah. -Bedroom.

-Yes. -Okay.

Susan would've liked this.

She liked to party, huh?

I didn't see you there.

You must be Xander, right?

Yeah.

Clare: 'Bout time I got to meet you.

Well, it is a pleasure to meet you.

Sarah said that...

Sarah's a little bit obsessed with keeping the bits

and pieces of her life separate

but I don't hold that against her.

It's completely natural.

And Susan

well Susan actually hated parties.

But she hated people being sad even more

especially about her.

Come on I need somebody to dance with.

Xander: All right.

(lively dance music)

It is really great to finally meet some of

Sarah's family I mean even if it's not the...

Not quite the gathering that was advertised.

Xander: No.

Sarah has an interesting way of phrasing things sometimes.

Clare: Yeah, that's one of the things you have to like

about that Trixie girl.

Yes, well one of the things I love about her.

It's been what

about a year for you two isn't it?

About a year, yeah, but we

we disagree on when we officially got together.

So when are you planning on proposing?

I don't know how did you...

I know the look kid.

Obviously.

I've been proposed to more often than I can count.

Mostly by guys who should've known better

and one girl

who really should've known better.

Esmeralda.

Esmeralda.

(lively dance music)

Your aunt is tiring in a good way.

You okay?

Yeah, yeah I'm just really tired.

You want me to drive?

No, no I'm fine.

Man I can't even imagine how she'd

put on a birthday party.

There were some strange ones believe me.

Hey, what's the deal with the stack of

pregnancy tests in the bathroom?

She says that she doesn't believe in menopause.

-Right. -Sarah: Yeah.

It must have been a strange childhood.

(slow tranquil music)

Hey

you're riding the braille a bit here.

Oh, sorry got distracted.

You know my dad likes to say the dots aren't there

to keep you from going off the road

they're just there to remind you the road has an edge.

Is there some deeper meaning to that?

-Hell, if I know. -Yeah.

Yeah.

I think my dad thinks the rest of the world's

a bunch of idiots.

-Rudolf: Up in the air. -(child cheering)

-Daddy's little girl. -(woman laughing)

* (somber piano music)

(keypad beeping)

(phone dialing)

(phone ringing)

Xander: Who was calling?

Sarah: Just a wrong number.

I had a dream I was meeting your parents.

You've met Aunt Clare already.

No, I mean your parent's parents.

I mean

not your grandparents.

I mean you know what I mean.

Yeah, baby, I know.

Go back to bed.

(slow piano music)

(birds chirping)

(dramatic music)

(furniture sliding)

(zipper unzips)

(door closing)

(man laughing)

(dramatic music)

(door closing)

Jason: Hee-yaw

(man grunting)

(indistinct dialogue)

Xander: Hey, hey, hey.

Whoa.

Jason: Whoa, oh god

it's you man.

What the hell?

I thought you were stealing stuff.

Why would I steal my own stuff you crazy bastard?

Jason: Just calm down, man, it wasn't that bad.

(man laughing)

Xander: Yeah, it wasn't that bad.

You didn't just get beat over the head with a phone book.

You're not exactly around all that often these days

practically live over at that chick's place.

(man laughing)

You didn't have that in your bag all night?

Yeah.

What?

It's supposed to be a surprise when you ask her.

Yeah, yeah I know that.

You know so you got the goddamn ring in her

apartment all night long.

How you know she didn't see it?

Why is she gonna go looking through my bag?

I'm not saying she did.

I'm just

I'm just saying.

Yeah, well she didn't see it okay.

I'm sure of it.

Damn.

(slow piano music)

-Hey. -Hey.

-I'll see you. -Okay.

Bye.

Beth: Oh, honey that's wonderful.

Is it?

Yeah.

He's a good guy isn't he?

You two are great together

and he wants to marry you I mean that's great.

What if I say no?

Jason: What if she says no?

She's not gonna say no.

She might.

No, she won't.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

If she says no which she won't

then that's fine because we'll still be together

and that's all I really want is

is to be with her.

And this is the thing she's not gonna say no.

She loves me so it's gonna be great.

Oh, god this is gonna be so terrible.

No, it's not going to be terrible.

It's just gonna be.

Besides don't you know how you're gonna answer him?

No, that is the whole thing.

Do you love him?

Yes.

And do you like living with him?

Yes, yes, yes.

And you wanna stay with him

maybe for your whole life?

Yeah. Yes.

So don't you want to marry him?

It's not that simple.

It never is.

Well, this is the end of hanging out whenever you want

you realize that right?

No, it's not.

Where am I gonna find a new roommate?

Your rent's just not gonna start paying for itself.

Have I ever not paid my half of the rent?

No, but it's not like I can keep asking you to do it.

You never asked me to do it before.

You're right.

I'm just you know...

Well, look you don't have to worry about me okay or this.

It's gonna be perfect.

I've got everything planned.

What could go wrong?

Is that...

No.

How are you gonna get it?

He's gonna fall in.

He's getting in the water.

That's not necessary.

I don't know if that water is healthy.

Sarah: Don't get in.

Oh, my gosh.

That's not working maybe hook it.

It's getting farther.

Next time.

Xander: That's okay.

-Thank you. -Sarah: Thanks.

Xander: Thanks very much.

Sorry, thank you.

Sarah: I know, baby. I think it's gonna be fine.

Xander: Really what horse dies?

Sarah: I don't know if it's dead okay.

Sarah: Maybe it just wasn't meant to be.

-Xander: Hey. -Hi.

Xander: Is the horse okay?

-What? -He's dead?

Oh, my why? What happened?

Xander: That's not right.

Oh, shit.

-Sarah: Are you alright? -Yeah.

-Hey, hey, hey. -I'm not coming in.

-You promised. -Sarah: Yeah, I know.

Was Risotto.

-It's Risotto. -Yeah.

(man stuttering)

Nothing.

Sarah, there was something I wanted

(Sarah coughing)

-You okay? -Sarah: Uh-huh.

To talk to you about.

-Okay. -So we've, uh...

(man stuttering)

We've been together a long time

and I think you're amazing as a person

as an individual

-Wow, how did you even do that. -Baby, I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry I can't believe that happened.

-It's okay you just -I'm sorry.

-Might need to vacuum. -I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's alright let me help with that.

-I'm such a mess. -It's alright ruin the kitchen

We'll clean it up later.

It's fine just gonna tell you...

Never mind.

-Sarah: Sorry. -No, it's not important.

Fuck it.

Sarah, I want you

to marry me?

(woman sighing)

(slow somber music)

What are you doing?

I just want to get the dishes started.

The dishes.

Yeah, I didn't want them to build up.

Okay so there's your answer?

-No. -No.

No, it's

It's not my answer.

-But it's not a yes. -It's not a no.

It's not a yes.

I don't know.

Look, Sarah, I think we've been really good together.

Yeah, we have.

And I love you.

I love you.

So marry me.

Listen

I love you I really do.

But not enough to spend your life with me.

-It's not that simple. -It is that simple.

-It's just a yes or no. -Why are you getting angry?

-'Cause it's just yes or no. -It's not that simple.

Why won't you just give me an answer?

Because you're getting angry.

I'm getting angry because you won't give me an answer.

-You're getting angry. -Stop saying that.

Why can't you just be happy with me?

I am, I am.

I don't understand why.

Why does anything have to change?

It's not changing okay.

I thought this was the next step you know.

Well, you know what

I actually like the step that we're on.

I mean that's completely insane.

Don't you dare.

You don't even know what that word means.

Don't you use that word.

Who are you?

Oh, god.

(woman crying)

(slow somber music)

(slow somber music)

What we do here as I've said is we build relationships.

We don't just throw away a good relationship after

after a particular project is finished right?

Well right?

All: Right.

I won't waste anymore of your time.

If you'd like...

You want me to start?

Oscar: Please.

Hey, we're ready, huh?

Ready for some efficiency and quality talk?

I mean quality and efficiency.

Did you get that the way I switched that?

Alright this is about customer service.

This is about relationships

building a relationship.

We don't just build buildings.

We build factories for like friendship and happiness

and we wanna bring people into these factories

and make them a part of our family here at our firm.

'Cause we also want them to hire us for future projects

make this a real family type situation that's our goal.

Warmth,

blah, blah, that kind of thing.

Quality, being thorough. "W" contacts with...

Follow up send e-mails, write letters.

People love it when you hand write stuff.

Put it in the mail

but that's the point keep in touch

text messages people like it.

They have their Blackberries and their iPhones and whatnot.

You can e-mail.

Lots of ways to thoroughly

maintain contact for quality.

Next up efficiency.

Fast integration "w' other sys-admins

with system.

Bring people in.

Get some feedback

find out what they like what they don't like

red brick, cement blocks

frosted glass, clear

wavy like in the older days you know what I mean

those old buildings

like an old house on a farm.

You wanna make sure that you're fast.

You wanna make sure that you bring people into the fold.

You make me feel wanted, feel loved, respected

that's really important

that they like what you do

and that you like what you're producing for them.

They have to stay in that building maybe for years

who knows so be sure you're fast with

integrating them into your fold.

Service.

Listen with your ears and also

(women laughing)

Sorry.

(women laughing)

I was saying

What was I saying?

About service listen with your ear and your heart.

Bring it in, bring people into your life and...

She's fine.

Man: Communication.

The customer is always left.

* (slow somber music)

(coughing)

(vomiting)

* I loved you so much

* That I couldn't stay

* I love you too much

* So I walked away

* And there in your arms

* Whenever I dream

* Some loves don't belong

* For eternity

* I'll hold you here

* In my heart till I die

* I'll hold you so dear

* That I ever knew

* Somehow wasn't enough

* For me and you

* I have no regrets

* Though the tears and the fights *

Hey, check that out.

* Were the best of my life

* There's no one to blame

* The tears have long

It's a nice ring right?

* And we've come too far

* To have written goodbyes.

* No more goodbyes

* I'll hold us here

Don't ever get married. Don't ever even ask.

* I'll hold them so dear

* As life passes by

* The greatest love that I ever knew *

Shit.

* (imitates porno music)

Shut up.

Okay.

So what are we watching?

(man moans)

Okay, here.

Hey, hey I was eating that.

Well, it's obviously not helping you.

Come on look pep yourself up

you're freaking me out, man.

What's wrong?

I was sure she'd say yes

or no

whatever just something.

Well, women are strange, man.

I mean they're confusing creatures.

Just shut up, man.

Shut up I can't listen to your stupid jibber jabber about

women or whatever strange...

(loud noise)

Men are strange and confusing creatures.

I feel like such an idiot.

Well, of course you do.

We're all idiots every now and then

but don't hang on to it.

Just let him work out his issues.

If he's still worth your time afterwards

he'll be back sweetie.

He'll be back.

Besides dude marriage

it's just an artificial societal construct.

It's based on false premises of sexual

superiority and ownership.

Have you been reading that Gloria Steinem book again?

Atkinson, yeah.

Well, there's this cute

hippie feminism girl down at the coffee shop.

College student.

(heavy breathing)

(men laughing)

There you are man.

Come on she'll come around.

I don't know why he would come back

-I was so stupid. -Stop it.

You are a good woman.

He's a fool if he gives you up.

Now drink up.

What was mom like?

That's one way to change the subject.

When she was young what was she like?

(woman sighing)

She was bright,

happy,

artistic.

She was a good little sister.

Was she a good woman?

Sarah, honey is that what this is all about?

No, no.

I've been thinking about her and Becky a lot lately.

Those are hard times to think about.

I can't just forget them.

No, no of course not.

That wouldn't be healthy either.

It's just easy to get stuck thinking about

those sorts of things.

You know we never really did talk about it.

No.

We haven't and

maybe I should apologize for that.

But it's more important to me that you've grown

into a good woman who can make good choices

based on what's happening now

not what happened 20 years ago.

I'm sorry.

Are you feeling okay?

I think I picked up a bug.

I've been puking for days.

Well, now Olivia and vomit

now that was a combination.

(woman laughing)

When your mom got sick

she could puke like an elephant spraying water.

(woman laughing)

It never seemed to slow her down though.

Hell, when she was pregnant

she'd get up, puke

make breakfast, puke

go to work, puke

and still come out of the bathroom with a smile on her face

(woman laughing)

It'd crack me up.

One second.

Are you okay

Sarah?

* (slow somber music)

(woman urinating)

* (slow somber music)

(woman sighing)

You feeling better?

When did my mother start going insane?

-Clare: What? -When did she start

-going I want to know. -Clare: Wait, wait a minute.

Wait it's not something that...

You already know the whole story.

No, I don't.

I know what we've all told each other

and what the newspapers have said

and what therapists have said.

Was it after she got married?

Was she normal before that please just...

No.

No.

I mean,

honey, everyone's quirky.

Dad said that before that...

Your father is an asshole.

Honey,

your mother getting sick

it had nothing to do with you

or Rudolf

or any of us.

It was her sickness.

I'm sorry.

I'm just freaking myself out.

I've gotta go.

Sarah.

No, I will call you I promise.

Sarah.

* (slow dramatic music)

(loud knocking)

* (slow dramatic music)

(heavy sighing)

(heavy breathing)

(woman grunting)

Eat your carrots.

Rudolf: Okay, so how far to come?

Can I go with to the...

Man: No you cannot.

Rudolf: You pulled her out okay.

Man: I understand that. I understand that.

Sir, you need to calm down.

She's gonna be all right.

Rudolf: See I mean I don't know if it's a fit.

This never happened before.

This has never happened.

Man: Let us do our job.

Look just calm down.

This is what you need to do.

Go back inside.

Rudolf: What's gonna happen?

I mean can I just call or something?

Fuck me.

No, actually I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know, Clare.

They didn't tell me.

They don't know anything yet.

How am I supposed to?

You want a guess.

Of course, of course.

What?

(man sighing)

Yeah.

She's fine.

She's fine. She's fine.

I don't think she even knows there's anything wrong.

(man sighing)

I just wish everything could go back

to the way it was before.

Male protester: No more abortions.

Woman on phone: You know what guys

Move thank you.

Protesters: Stop the killing.

Woman on phone: All these guys are just placed

* (slow somber music)

Go ahead and fill that out.

It shouldn't be too long.

I'm just saying

it would've been nice to know beforehand.

I'd already told you.

Suddenly there's this giant fish

I'm supposed to do something with it.

With no warning.

Man: You had warning.

Woman: No, I asked but you'd never answered.

Man: That's because I'd already told you.

You still could have answered.

How many times should I repeat it I can never remember.

You know you always do this.

No, you always do this.

I tell you something right to your face

and you don't hear it because you never listen to me.

Have you finished filing those requisitions?

Does it look like I finished.

Christ this is why we're not supposed to mix

business and pleasure.

It'll just be a few more minutes.

Yeah, will I wasn't gonna go.

I mean I guess it sounds like fun.

Hold on a second.

Hey, where's Sarah?

Well, she's not here.

What do you mean she's not here?

Well, exactly what I said she's not here.

Can I call you back?

Okay, bye.

But she was here earlier?

No, she left early yesterday.

I haven't seen her since.

Look I like you and all

but you're not gonna turn into a stalker are you?

No.

Listen she just needs

Stop save it okay.

I've heard it before.

I need to move on and let it go.

Get over it whatever the hell.

Xander,

-Sarah is-- -What are you doing?

Sorry.

Just concerned for my friend.

How much do you really know about Sarah?

I know her.

And her mother?

Her aunt raised her.

Her mother died when she was

No.

She didn't die.

She went nuts.

When Sarah was a kid

her mother had this like psychotic break

I think they called it

and left her and her sister

out in the desert or something.

-They called it? -The news.

It was this whole thing back when it happened

like '89, '90 something like that.

It was big shit.

That's what we talked about in college.

I nearly flipped a fit when she told me that was her.

What does that have to do with anything?

Just that she has issues deep down.

I mean don't get me wrong she's a great girl and everything

I just don't wanna see such a nice guy

maybe getting in over his head a little bit.

I just don't wanna see you get hurt, Xander.

Well, it's a little too late for that.

* (slow dramatic music)

Becky: Look at that little lizard right there.

(engine cranking)

Sarah: Mommy, wait.

Mommy, wait.

* (slow dramatic music)

(man typing)

* (slow dramatic music)

(indistinct voices)

(horns bellowing)

(horns bellowing)

Shut up.

(horns bellowing)

(drum rattling)

Hey,

shut up.

Hey.

Shut up. Shut up.

Shut up.

Just shut the fuck up thank you.

Hey, dude the parade put us here

and we gotta warm up.

I don't give a shit.

Take your freaking band geeks and go somewhere else.

Well, if you want us to move

you need to talk to the parade coordinators okay.

Let's do it.

(horns bellowing)

(drums rattling)

(marching band bellowing)

What is wrong with you?

You know I'm a black woman.

You do not wet a black woman's hair.

Y'all come on let's do the Mow.

Get in the Mow.

You lucky I don't gang bang no more.

Y'all ready.

Core horns up.

(horns bellowing loudly)

You want more wet.

You wanna get more wet.

(man screaming)

(crowd laughing)

Band Leader: That's how we do it, baby.

Don't mess with me.

That's what I'm talking about see.

Xander: Man, you know there's a parade going on outside.

It's loud.

Jason: The great white hunter returns.

(horns bellowing loudly)

So what's the verdict, bro.

Is your girlfriend nuckin' futs?

What's your problem?

Well, let's see

I'm hungover.

And some sort of a brass band outside

and they're trying to batter my brain out of my ear.

And my best friend is obsessing over a chick.

(man laughing)

who turns out is fruitier than a nut cake.

That's about it.

Okay.

Same old, same old

you not giving a shit about knowing what the hell

you're taking about.

Shit dude I would prefer it

if you would go back to yelling at the laundry again

instead of this giant boy detective bullshit

'cause at least then I would know that

this thing you do would end.

Is this about me or is this about you?

Don't psycho analyze me man.

Yeah, I forgot you took a psych class in collage.

Yeah, that's right I did.

For all of what half a semester.

Yeah, that's also right.

(phone ringing)

You're gonna take a freaking phone call we're talk...

Hello.

Yeah.

Yeah, I know that place.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'll meet you there right now.

Okay.

So that was her,

Medusa.

I gotta go.

Yeah, sure you do.

SOP right, man.

Soon as the conversation gets a little uncomfortable

you get all pissy and you run off.

You turn into an ass hat.

No, listen.

All right just tell me one thing

when you proposed to her

and she went all Hasselhoff on you

did you hang out, make a sandwich

maybe find out what might a went wrong

or did you get all pissy and run off

maybe get drunk.

Look do me a favor will you

clean up in here 'cause it stinks.

What is that smell?

Oh, independence.

Well independence smells like pizza and piss.

I'm fine with that.

-Fine. -Jason: Fine.

-Fine. -Jason: Fine

(door slams)

Xander: Fine.

Sarah: How you doing?

Me, I'm

I'm great.

You wanted to talk.

I'm sorry.

I was stupid and I was selfish.

No, you weren't.

I shouldn't have gotten so...

I shouldn't have left like I did so

I'm sorry because I was an ass.

I'm sorry I was me.

I wanted to tell you something about my mother.

Who told you?

-Beth said. -Beth said.

Well, I never told you about her.

I never asked.

Thought I was being nice.

You were.

No, I was being dumb.

Here I'm trying to share my life with you

and I'm not letting you share yours.

Well, if you read the papers

then there's not much more to share.

Okay.

I'm so sorry, Sarah.

I got over the worst it a long, long time ago.

It doesn't sound like something you just get over, Sarah.

I was on antidepressants for years.

I was in therapy for years okay.

I got over it but I'm not gonna pretend like it didn't happen.

Who said anything about pretending it didn't--

The point is she was happy okay.

She was stable and everything had to change because

no one was happy just leaving them be.

There just had to be change.

Sarah, Sarah everything changes.

That's the problem.

Over the years supposedly my mother was doing a lot better.

The institution was a good place for her.

And of course they let her out

and all of a month of her being outside

she broke down again and she killed herself.

Sorry.

When did that happen?

When I was in college.

You dropped out of college.

Didn't ask about that either.

Look, Sarah

Sarah, look at me you are not your mother.

Damn right I'm not my mother

and I'm not going to make the same mistakes

that she did.

No, it's not about that okay.

Even if you did everything that she did

you're a different person.

You're not gonna do--

You're not getting the point.

Everything changes, right, you told me that.

So if everything changes what if I do

what if you do?

You're right.

What.

You're right.

I was happy.

We're happy.

And I wanna be with you so much more

than I care about getting married.

So if you don't wanna get married

well that's fine.

We can go back.

We can go back to the way things were.

You would never be happy with that.

Look, Sarah

the changes are a part of life okay.

It's life.

I don't understand why we can't just enjoy it as it is.

And what just keep setting new limits for ourselves

so we can pretend things aren't changing

even when they were.

I mean like we've been together for years

but hey we never got married

so it's the same thing.

Or we're in our 40s but we never had kids

so it's just like when we were 25.

I mean do we never go on trips or vacations

because those are changes.

That is not what I'm saying.

No, do we never meet anybody new.

It is though because if we get married everything changes.

And if we have kids everything,

everything changes.

And if I take that job up in Seattle that's just sitting

-there waiting for me -What job?

What does it matter?

The job that you were talking about...

Yes, yes, yes

the job I've been talking about for a long time

they offered it to me

but I haven't given them an answer

which should be ironic right now but I'm not seeing it.

Well, why don't you just take it.

You should just go.

That's not what I'm saying.

-Isn't it? -Xander: No, it's not.

It's okay I'm very familiar with the paradigm.

My sister after she died and my mother

went to the fucking nut house

my father decided that he couldn't stay and he left.

The only time I've seen my father in the last 15 years

Xander, is when he needs money.

Okay so what am I the same?

Do you think that something bad's gonna happen?

I'm gonna running off.

I don't know maybe it's for the best.

You think I'm a deadbeat like your father.

I don't even say that.

Sarah, I am not your father.

-I'm am not your father. -Sarah: Yeah,

I said you're not my father.

Excuse me folks but my manager asked me to inform you

that your voices are carrying.

Might be more comfortable having this conversation outside perhaps.

What is it?

Sarah, wait?

Hi, I'm waiting for somebody

a lady supposed to be meeting me.

What the hell are you doing here?

-Came to see you. -Bullshit.

I just came. I was around.

Excuse me please can you give us a second?

You called.

I came.

-I would never call you. -You called me.

Your name was on ID, the caller ID

I guess I can read that.

You called him?

Who are you

the jerk boyfriend right?

Well, I guess you're the deadbeat father, right?

Yeah.

What do you need?

Do you need money?

-That's not fair. -Sarah: You know

the collections offices call me when they need you.

Okay I have debts.

I've always had debt but I'm here to see you.

You think I'm an asshole right

but I'm your dad

and I know when I'm needed.

Yeah, well you're not needed man.

Hey, don't. Hey, man.

Would you stop you just go okay.

Clare told me that you're pregnant.

I thought I should be here.

You talked to Clare.

You're pregnant?

-I saw Clare. -Sarah: No, I'm not.

-You're pregnant. -Sarah: No, I'm not.

Clare told me.

I am not pregnant. Would you just leave please?

Hey, listen to me, listen to me.

-You were. -I'm not pregnant.

-You were. -I'm not pregnant. Listen to me.

No, look you were.

Sport, I think you should probably stand...

Look don't touch me right now.

You.

(men grunting)

Stop it what are you doing?

Is there any reason for me to stay?

No, just get out of here.

Nice meeting you asshole.

Xander, Xander, Xander.

No, Sarah, no.

I'm too tired okay.

And you're too scared of me, of everything.

And I can't

okay not anymore.

Sarah, honey

honey, please why don't we just get out of here

and go talk somewhere okay.

Let's go someplace else.

Do you have a car?

I'll walk you to your car come on.

Come on.

Hey, maybe it was for the best.

I drove him away.

Look it would've happened eventually.

Before she died did she ever get any better?

She had good days now and then.

From what they told me

it always seemed to be a bad day when I was visiting.

The treatments never worked and stopped working.

Nah, she didn't really get better.

She was never before either.

But you were happy right?

She was happy right?

Yeah, we were happy.

Back then

she was really never normal.

(phone ringing)

Corso.

I know, I know I'll be there.

Something came up.

What else do I consider important

in this shit hole of a town?

I know just stay there.

Well, it's gotta be in the genes.

Your Aunt Clare she's not the sanest person in the world.

You don't know here.

I know Clare since before you're born.

You don't anything about her.

When are you even here?

I don't even know why I'm asking you anything.

Who the hell are you?

I'm your father.

You haven't been my father since I was seven years old.

You sound just like your mother.

I am nothing like my mother.

You're exactly like your mother.

* (slow dramatic music)

Hello Cichlid and Associates.

Sarah, stop mourning over this guy.

We've got work to do.

You don't understand anything.

Move I need my pay check thank you.

I do understand he's just another guy.

I mean they'll all alike.

They're cheaters and creeps and...

You know you've always been an idiot.

-He made a pass at me. -What?

-Yeah, the other day right here. -No, he didn't.

Yeah, yeah he did.

He didn't make a pass at you. You made a pass at him.

It's what you do.

Maybe. But, he didn't say no.

Beth, these are not the...

Rudolf: Where's the goddamn shampoo, Clare, where...

-Him. -Clare: Sarah.

Him.

-Sarah, one second. -(sobbing) How could you?

-Wait. -Wait.

You say that he's an asshole and that you hate him.

Rudolf: Come on, Sarah, please give me a break.

Shut up! Just shut the fuck up!

How long, how long?

Three years.

We know each other.

How we're hurt.

I'm sorry it just happened.

Things got really bad, Sarah, for me

and she helped me out

and we understand each other.

I know the things that I've said.

I thought I was protecting you.

Is this it. Is this what you guys do?

Is this it? Huh, is this it?
