Bye Yasmine.

Bye Sami.

Hi.

Hi, How's it going?

Good.

Really? I feel like you're not good at all. Now you're good...

I can sense it. It's a vibe.

What's your name?

Yasmine.

- That's a nice name. - Thank you.

- I'm Sami. - That's a nice name too.

- Why don't we go? Let's get out of here. - Where do you want to go?

We'll go we'll grab a coffee, roam around who cares? As long as we go.

- Are you actually serious? - I'm dead serious why would ask you otherwise?

- You want to go now? - Yeah now!

- How come you want to have coffee with me? - Because...

There is no reason for me to be here...

If I'm not talking to you. And I don't want to talk to you here...

I want to be alone with you and away from all of this.

So either we leave together which would be amazing.

Or I'm just going to leave anyways because...

You're the only thing keeping me here.

So?

Okay... why not!

Right? That's what I was going to say why not?

That's the best answer I've heard all night.

The owner of this place...

His name is Marcelo. Twenty years ago he was married had two kids.

Twin girls you know? One night he walks in on his wife in bed.

- With another man! - What? - Yeah! I mean obviously he wants a divorce...

But the thing is he had a really shady past before all of this happened.

So his wife brings all of that uses it against him.

In court. Judge takes away everything. He loses his house, custody of they girls.

He lost his job because he was in court all of the time like he just lost everything.

And that's not even the worst part. The worst part is that...

As soon as he is out of the house, she moves the other guy, the guy who...

She is sleeping with into the house and they get engaged!

They're going to get married! He is devastated...

Devastated! Because they were like high school sweethearts.

They knew each other for a long time, they had their first kiss together... they lost their virginity to each other.

They would be like Romeo and Juliet...

If Romeo didn't just mess everything up and kill Tybalt.

- No I'm sorry I always blame the friar. - That is true...

You can't trust a messenger with that information! - Exactly!

Anyways Marcelo he's not taking it well obviously...

He doesn't even go see his daughters anymore because they remind him...

- Of her and he can't handle it. - Sad.

He gets news that it's their wedding night...

And he is drinking himself into a stupor...

He is depressed and suicidal. He's done.

He's ready to go. So he gets a rope and ties a noose.

And he puts his head in it, and right then...

Knock at the door. He goes and...

It's her. In her wedding dress.

Pouring rain and she's soaking...

And she's crying, she's begging him...

Please take me back. I'm sorry.

He is overwhelmed. I mean, he want to slap her...

He wants to scream at her, he wants to kill her. But he can't...

Because after everything she has done to him...

He just cares about her too much still.

He can't go on without her so he doesn't say anything he just...

Leans in and kisses her.

Soft, wet lips...

And the rain stops right there, at that moment.

They get back together...

And they family is reunited.

And he wants to do something new so he opens this coffee shop for her because that's what they used to love to do.

They loved to have coffee every morning. And he set out to...

Make the best cup of coffee in the city.

So it only made sense that he would call that place...

Lucinda's.

How do you know all of this?

I made it up.

Um...

- I'm sorry what did you say you made it up? - Yeah I made it up.

Yeah...

To be honest I've actually never been here before.

Are you hungry?

Do you want to get a burrito or something? Because I know the best burrito place in the city.

Okay...

- Sure... - You're buying though.

What do you think it means?

I don't know man. Maybe it doesn't mean anything...

It's ambiguous or something?

Means whatever you want it to mean?

- So It's bullshit. - Basically.

Anything happen with that Yasmine chick?

No. Nothing.

That girl was an eleven...

Which I didn't even know existed until I saw her.

Yeah not really my type though.

An eleven is everyone's type.

She is too sophisticated.

Sophisticated?

So she's got a brain?

Yup.

Finding an eleven with a brain is like getting a picture of bigfoot riding a unicorn.

It is the holy grail in the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Yeah but what if you just want to get in and get out you know? Keep it simple?

Well obviously!

A beautiful woman is like a man who can fly! Except they do exist and they are fucking everywhere.

Walking around flaunting their magical powers. And they know got us by the balls.

Because there is nothing a woman wants as much as man wants to see her titties.

And that my friend is power. A woman with power...

She got no need for sex. Waste of her time.

Queen Elizabeth the First...

She rule Britain for over seventy fucking years. Died a virgin.

King Henry the Eighth. Died of Syphilis.

I hate that you get to fuck that chick honestly it bothers me.

It keeps me up at night. But you know what? That's fine, that's good...

It's good for you.

Because that girl is too sexy to have sex with.

Just one of those things man.

She's on display. All for show.

Like that room in your grandma's house that you aren't allowed to go into or sit on anything...

Because all the furniture is too Goddamn expensive. I don't want to fuck that chick!

I want to watch her and take notes...

Study her from across the street through a crack in the drapes with a pair of binoculars.

Watch her bathe herself by moonlight while she listens to classical music.

I don't want to fuck her. I want to stalk her.

I don't know what do you think of this one?

I don't know. I kind of like this one.

Yeah me too.

Hello?

Hey...

No I'm good, I can talk.

What's up? Yeah I'm fine.

Yeah I had a lot of fun too.

Tonight?

Uh...

Yeah that should be good.

Okay. Yeah okay...

Um, I guess I'll see you then.

Okay... yeah bye.

You look really good in 3-D!

Yasmine, hasn't Hollywood taught you anything?

Everything looks better in 3-D!

You are so right 2-D is so 90's. Everything I've ever seen in 2-D is terrible!

2-D suck!

They should take all the classic movies...

And just remake them all in 3-D.

Godfather, Citizen Kane...

Casablanca - Breakfast at Tiffany's. - The Sound of Music...

- Grease - 12 Angry Men. - When Harry Met Sally.

To Kill a Mockingbird -The Bridges of Madison County - Titantic...

Do you want to do something crazy?

- No. - Come on!

Come on!

What are we doing?

- Why are we here? - What it's like a scene from a movie...

You know one of those rom-come from the 90s.

Yeah but those movies always end with some guy in a robe chasing them down the street...

With a shotgun.

How does it fit?

No man should own anything this comfortable.

Yeah I like nice things.

What can I say.

This place is something else but uh...

Minimalist much?

Yeah I'm not a fan of clutter.

One must be cunning and wicked in this world.

Do you believe that?

Sometimes.

Sometimes?

The world is...

Cruel, and vicious.

To believe anything else is...

Kind of foolish.

But sometimes it's more fun to be foolish.

It is more fun to be foolish.

Is that why you're...

- Sitting on my coffee table? - Maybe.

Maybe I just like you.

I like your brain. I like how it works.

This bowl of cereal, I've never...

Enjoyed a bowl of cereal as much as I'm enjoying this bowl of cereal right now.

And it's all because of you.

Aww that is the most romantic thing anybody has ever said to me.

So what are you doing this weekend?

Not much. Got some readings to do.

Because you know, nothing says Saturday funday...

like the Marxist interpretation of foreign direct investment policies.

That is fun, that's like my favourite course. I took it like three times.

- You want the book? I have it. - Why what are you up to?

Well a couple of friends of mine...

We always go up to a cottage. It's actually really fun it's like a tradition now.

- That's nice. I like traditions. - Yeah, me too.

- You should come! - Really?

Yeah it'll be a lot of fun.

Wow... um.

It's just, I have a lot of...

Work to do and I don't know if it is the best time.

Oh okay, yeah just a thought. No Pressure.

- Maybe another time? - Yeah for sure.

I should get going.

For sure. Um, I'll walk you out okay?

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

You know it's weird how much validation we need from our parents.

I guess growing up I've always wanted.

My mother's approval.

I just want my mom to be proud of me for who I am.

And who I want to be and it seems that she...

Would only be proud of me if I was the person that she wanted me to be.

And be that perfect wife, marry the doctor the lawyer...

The most perfect guy and have two or three children and have that house.

So she could brag about me to her friends and when I do something...

That she doesn't want me to do I feel like a big failure a big disappointment.

And I don't want to feel like that.

I like you Sami.

Just like?

I don't know.

I think I'm past just like. I'm definitely on to really like.

You start something at a place in your life. Then you put it on hold to do all these...

Other things you are supposed to do. When you come back to it...

You're not the same person.

You want to ban shorts?

- Maybe I don't understand it on men. - Oh okay you like those little...

Yes of course it's like a standard rule of thumb for being a man.

Do you become more attracted to a man if you see him in shorts?

I hate men in shorts. When guys have like trunk legs and they wear short shorts...

- It's like no... buddy. - And did he look good?

It was in New York and one of my friends was just like...

Bro, I'm just going to tell you I don't like this look. I'm just not feeling it.

- I love that your friend said something.

But you have to be honest girls don't do that with each other.

That's the shitty thing. You can go to a store and a guy will go to his guy friend.

Bro, no. But if you do that with a girl she says "oh you look so..."

hot... no no no that's great on you it's so nice on you."

- And then they will buy it and look like shit. - But why is that? Is it a biological instinct?

Are they trying to shut each other down in case the alpha male arrives?

And then one of them wants the alpha male.

If you ever put two girls together,

Who like the same guy doesn't matter if they are best friends they will fight for it.

- And same thing with clothes -

So biologically...

We are going to tear each other down for the perfect male suitor...

And a pair of shoes?

- How can that be the same thing? - Because society has grown to this.

No I'm just trying to say that naturally girls will just.

Not mean to but in that weird small little.

Subconscious they are like yeah, I want you to look bad so I look better.

There is always that one hot friend in a group...

Why do hot girls hang out with girls that aren't as hot?

Maybe they are nice people and they just like people based on their personality.

Too bad that half of the world is not like that. This is what I was talking about when I said higher thinking.

Yes there are a few people who think that. But then there are girls...

- Who say I'll keep her around to make me look better. - But maybe that's your vantage point.

How could that be?

What if the majority of people don't think like that.

That's like saying guys don't think about...

- Sex every ten seconds. - No that is a different thing.

This is just my perspective...

Everybody has some perspective that is right and maybe mine only works for...

five percent of the world but hey that is still five percent of the world.

That is a rough five percent.

Those are the girls at the clubs...

Could we watch something else?

What do you want to watch?

I don't know just something else?

Like what?

Do you have something in mind?

Um, see what's on Netflix.

Okay. You don't want to watch this anymore?

No.

Okay... Did you see something on here?

Like that you wanted to watch?

There is a lot of stuff so like...

Choose something.

You said you wanted to watch something so...

I'm feeling Pretty Woman.

- It's a good movie. - Yeah it's good.

I've just seen it a couple of times.

Yeah it's one of those movies you know...

You watch it a few times. Never gets old.

Yeah I guess so.

It's good for sure. You want to watch it right?

- You okay? Watching it? - Yeah yeah yeah.

I might not...

Watch the whole thing because I have to get up kind of early.

Okay.

I mean I'll watch it just saying if I fall asleep or something.

Yeah, no, it's fine, not a big deal.

- Where you guys supposed to go out? - What?

- Your friends like... - When?

I'm just saying you are texting them a lot did you guys have plans or something.

No um...

I'm sorry don't mean to be on my phone.

No you can do whatever you want I'm just saying you wanted to watch the movie right?

- It's fine we can pause it do you want to call them? - No no no it's fine.

I'm kind of hungry...

Yeah?

Do you want to eat or something?

I'm fine.

I'm okay I'm not hungry if you're hungry I'll eat with you.

If you want to order something.

It's late is anything open?

I don't really feel like eating pizza again.

- We can make something. - Yeah I guess that's fine.

So do you want to make something?

Honestly I'm fine. If you want something just make it.

No it's fine I'm too tired.

Hey, it's Sami, I know...

That I have been calling you a lot.

Honestly I just miss hearing your voice.

I miss being with you.

I know things aren't right...

But I know they can be.

We can be us again.

Look, I'm outside, I know I shouldn't be...

I'm sorry I just really needed to see you.

I'd like to talk. Please.

What are you doing here Sami?

I wanted to see you.

You always get what you want.

Why are you being like this?

Just go...

Stop calling, stop showing up here.

You should leave.

I can't I need you.

What about me?

What I want? What I need?

I can be what you want whatever you want me to be...

I can be that just tell me.

You're such an idiot.

I'm sorry.

I think you should leave.

Stop...

Stop...

Stop... Stop...

Stop!

I remember my mother I got this call.

My mother had been in an accident I was in the middle of a deal and I was like do I need to go now...

Or can I wait. They were like your mother got in an accident, I thought to myself...

Yeah but the deal needs me. So I stayed you know,

And it may sound a bit harsh. But reality is a bit harsh.

And what I like about you is I think you get it.

I think you've got the right attitude and outlook you kind of remind me of Ranj.

You know Ranj. He was starting to wane a little a bit...

So I told him go get your laptop sit right there...

Let's work on this together let's feed off of each other.

And it worked and then around 4am I said Ranj I have to go.

Finish up here, grap a nap on the couch if you need to.

I go home, I'm just about to

get in bed about an hour and a half later and I get a call from Keith who was...

Also her working on the deal and he told me Ranj had a full blown seizure.

Full blown! Keith came in found him shaking...

On the floor. I was so fucking jealous!

Can you believe that? He can legitimately say.

That the deal the almost killed him. He can say that!

Like how many people can say that? I can't say that?

Between us girls I have a couple of times lied and.

Said I was Ranj but really it was him. And you kind of remind me of that guy.

I think you have a bright future ahead of you. Being down here, in this business...

It's going to be good to you if you put in your time. You're going to make.

A lot of money. Drive a nice car, have a nice house, have a nice watch, have a nice...

Pen. But you got to do some things.

We all did it.

I got married on a Friday I was in the office Saturday.

My second born, I didn't even go. I was like yeah I've seen it before.

My mother-in-law was there that's good enough.

Solid chat. You know what you have to do.

Get those agreements out, turn them overnight.

Get them to me early tomorrow morning, 8ish, 7:30ish.

We have a lot of stuff on our plate okay. Let's do it.

I don't know. I don't know if it is like one.

One massive fork.

It's more like a million.

Little roads.

These roads so small that you can't.

Tell if you are turning or going straight.

We just keep veering slightly.

This way and that until...

I don't know one day you stop and.

Somehow you just ended up so far.

From where you thought you were going.

But you couldn't tell.

While you were traveling.

Because inside everything seemed fine.

Just seemed right.

So we didn't question it.

Once we got out...

That's when we became aware.

Something was wrong.

That's when we really became aware of anything at all.

I love you Yasmine.

I love you too.

I love you too.

So we're at this amazing park.

Babe!

What do I like about you? Your big butt!

C'mon now stop.

You are putting me on the spot. I don't know.

He doesn't like me that much I guess.

I love your pouty face and your smile.

I love your eyes. I love holding your body against mine.

He's so cute.

Hey.

Hey.

- Thanks for coming. - What happened?

Nothing. SAMI: You're Okay?

- Yup. - Okay because..

You said that-NINA: Yeah I lied.

- Why? - I guess I realized the only way to get you down here tonight.

- Was if I told you there was an emergency. - So you are fine?

- Where have you been? - Just work.

- Work has been busy. - Liar.

So uh, what they just let you...

let you hang around here till 4'am by yourself?

I know the owner.

Of course you would know the owner.

Why did you break up with Yasmine? You guys were so.

- Good. - Yeah that's what I tell her.

- What happened? - I don't know.

That's probably the most frustrating part about all of this.

- I just don't know. - How does it end just like that?

Like not because of something?

I don't know I guess it just does.

I like you better like this.

- Like what? - Like this.

Like miserable and self loating?

No, just like not an asshole.

Well who says I'm not an asshole.

I did. You are one of the good ones Sami.

SAMI

SAMI I can't breathe...

I don't know what to do about everything.

Hey, it's me Yasmine, um.

I just feel like I haven't heard your voice in so long.

And you know I miss you Sami.

I know things didn't end well last time.

And uh, I know I should have been better.

I'm working on that that trying to be better.

Anyways, I just thought maybe...

You would want to come this weekend I know it's weird.

But you've been such an important part of my life and I just...

I just think it would be nice to see you there. My family would love to see you too.

Either way I...

I just want you to know you were right. About everything.

You were right.

Okay, bye Sami.

I quit my job today.

What are you going to do?

I'll survive.

What happened?

Nothing. I was in my fourth...

Meeting of the day. And this switch goes off

in my head. What am I doing? Where am I going?

Who do I want to be?

The whole room just started blending.

Into this mellow din of colour and sound.

It was kind of beautiful actually.

Sounds like you had a seizure.

- Hey. - Hey.

Happy Birthday.

Thank you.

- I'm sorry. - For what?

The home invasion. I just needed you last night.

Still have your key.

Yeah it's fine. Um, what happened?

My cousin got married.

- That sounds awful. - It was. It was beautiful.

- And perfect. - And you're jealous.

- I'm not jealous. - But you wish it was you?

- No - So what's the problem?

I just wish it wasn't her before me.

When I was a kid I use to think

that I would be scaling mountains, going to space.

Rescuing the Princess from the castle.

I just want to be somebody important.

I just want to matter.

Well I hate to be the one to tell you this...

But uh, I don't think you are going to be an astronaut.

You must be this tall to ride the spaceship.

No?

Well...

You don't have to be somebody else to be somebody.

My mom loves her because she is perfect.

I know what she is thinking. She is ashamed of me.

I can taste it.

I don't think she is ashamed of you.

I know she is. You know when.

You just know something. You just know it in your bones.

You know?

You know when I was a kid.

I use to want to be one of those mannequins at the department store.

I thought they were real people.

Who got paid to be there just go there and stand real still all day.

I knew exactly what I wanted.

To do with my life and I was five.

Just go in there, watch them.

Be in awe of how still they were.

Lifeless. I though shit!

I can do that.

But you know you wanted to be an astronaut I wanted to stand around all day.

And do nothing. Big fucking deal we both grew up.

Now I put in pools and you, do whatever it is.

The fuck that you do. But...

My point is I put in a pool,

I get a check, Becky eats for a week,

And maybe I play a show on Saturday night.

I'm not actually here. You're dreaming.

What?

You're dreaming. You're still asleep.

- I'm joking. - Hilarious.

You use to laugh at all my jokes.

I used to laugh at you your jokes had nothing to do with it.

Where were you last night?

- Nina's - Oh that's nice she have a party?

No not really.

- You, you just slept there? - Yeah.

Sleep there a lot?

- Sometimes? - You fuck?

Sometimes.

You guys never dated.

I guess I was too afraid to ask.

You guys were never serious?

As serious as you can be in high school I guess.

We dated but we're better off as friends.

Ever since then we've been kind of On Again Off Again.

You're so jealous.

- I'm not - Yes you are very jealous.

- I'm not jealous - It's all over your face.

There is makeup all over my face.

So answer my question...

I don't know.

You just came by to sleep on my couch.

I just...

- Needed to get away from everything. - And I'm your escape right?

It's not that simple.

Why don't you just stay here. Stay here forever.

- Why are you so good to me? - I love you.

I need to tell you something.

People get married man.

People get unmarried.

People who aren't getting unmarried don't show up at their ex-boyfriend's condo looking for a farewell fuck.

Why does it matter?

Of course it matters.

Were you with him all this time we were together.

No.

You're lying.

Were you?

Were you with him? Were you with him or not?

Just tell me the truth. Just tell me the truth.

Tell me. Tell me were you with him or not?

You're fucking lying.

Lying to me. Tell me the truth!

Tell me the truth! Were you with him or not!

Were you? What do you want from me?

You come here all the time and you just fuck with my head! All the time!

You play these stupid fucking games all the time with me!

What do you want, tell me, tell me right now don't fucking lie to me.

Because I'm always here waiting for you!

So for once in your fucking life just tell me the truth.

Say something. Look at me!

What do you want from me? Speak! Speak to me!

I'm sorry.

What am I supposed to say that?

Do you want permission to be a shitty person?

Okay Yasmine. I forgive you.

Because you're sorry it's okay that you are selfish.

In fact, don't even be sorry.

Just do whatever you are going to do. Like you always do.

It's who you are. Just own it.

I still love you.

So?

What the hell is wrong with you?

I've never been so desperate to forget anyone.

And you just want to throw that away?

That's love. That's true love.

That's true fucking romance. You think love is all butterflies,

And fireworks. Love is the fights. The tension. The struggle.

Love is pain. Love is war.

If you want to be in it you gotta fight for it.

Because it's worth it man.

So why don't you quit being a pussy and go get her back.

You still love her right?

Yeah.

Then what the fuck are we talking about?

Hey,

It's me Yasmine. Um...

I just feel like I haven't heard your voice in so long.

And uh, you know I just miss you Sami.

I know things didn't end well last time.

And I should have been better.

I'm working on that. Trying to be better.

Anyways, I just thought that you.

Maybe you would want to come this weekend.

I know it's weird but you have been such an important part of my life and I just...

I just think it would be nice to see you there. My family would love to see you to.

Either way...

I just want you to know you were right. About everything.

You were right.

Okay bye Sami.

Sorry everyone to disturb your eating. But I just wanted to thank you all.

For coming to our home and sharing this wonderful, wonderful day.

I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart for being here for our beautiful daughter Yasmine.

For helping Aftab and I send her on her way...

To her new life with new loving fiancee,

Kamil.

I always knew he was the right one for my daughter.

From the very first day they met I knew there was a kind of magic.

Well it took them long enough but they made it.

They found one another, and I guess,

What I am trying to say is that I am so proud of you. And I've always been proud of you.

I'm so proud to be your mother,

And I am so proud you are my daughter. For everything you are.

And everything you will ever be.

And I thank you for that Yasmine.

I thank you with all my heart and Kamil,

I thank you for loving her.

As much as I do. Please take care of her.

She is all we have.

Please everybody raise a glass to the happy couple.

May you live happily ever after.

Bye Yasmine.

Bye Sami.
