This spot is beautiful.
Yeah, it really is.
You guys are lucky. l didn't have a place like this where l grew up.
What are you talking about? You grew up like half an hourfrom here.
Whatever. My parents didn't let me out much.
Yeah, well, it was really amazing for us.
ln high school we used to sneak out and come here all the time.
That's right. Late-night rendezvous. ln fact,
we shared ourfirst bottle of tequila right here at this very spot.
Wow. l am impressed that you even rememberthat.
''l am impressed that you even rememberthat.''
So do you guys feel like you were the same as you were back then?
Well, l know l'm exactly the same.
l still have absolutely no idea what l want to do when l grow up.
Well, hey, you used to work at Foot Locker, and l'm sure
if you went back and asked, they'd give you the job.
-Very funny. -What about you, Nick?
- Have you changed much? - Mmm-mm.
Although l must say, Trevor has gotten way hotter.
You know that that is a fact, my friend, okay?
My jaw is way wider now. lt's striking.
All right, loverboy. How about you and me
go get some wood forthis fire, huh?
All right, take care.
l got a really good feeling about the next couple of months.
Yeah? Why is that?
lf we just close a couple of our own accounts,
you know how huge that could be for us?
Yeah, l mean, retiring early would be very nice.
By 30?
Oh, shit. Look, look.
Gross, dude.
Come here. What, you afraid of a little crab?
Gross, dude! Those things are just sick! Don't!
- Come on. Come on. - No, don't! Dude, don't! Don't!
Fucking pussy.
This is so exciting!
Yeah. Maybe l should wait till tomorrow.
No, you have to tell him tonight.
Hey. Took you guys long enough.
What are you talking about?
There it goes. There it goes. Okay, ready?
Nice. Yeah, l'm ready.
- Happy birthday! - Oh!
- Oh, they went out. Relight. -Wait wait.
-All right. - Okay, now make a wish.
l can't. Everything's perfect.
- That's lame. - Oh. Oh, sweetie.
Whatever, dude.
lf you need something, l've got a whole list of things.
- How about a million dollars? - Blow 'em out, already.
- Let's do this. -All right, all right!
-Yay! - No!
- Come on. No. l bought 'em. - lt's my birthday cake.
- l want it in the shot. - ln what shot?
- Good idea, okay. - Behave.
- Okay, everybody. - Come on, hurry up, l want a cupcake.
l know, just hold your horses for a minute, all right?
-Art. lt's perfection. - lt's kinda ghetto frosting.
- That's good though. - That's my favorite.
Yup. Are you ready?
Yes.
- Everybody say ''chingas.'' - Chingas.
- Good, guys. - Chingas.
Check it out, ladies and gentlemen.
l brought my own special kind of birthday candle.
-All right. - Drugs!
-You kids have fun. - That is awesome.
- Light it up. - Come here.
- Hey, where are you going? - Somewhere.
- Really? -With you.
- Okay. - Camera, please.
-Yes, sir. - Put this on.
-All right. - This is kind of exciting.
- Oh, l will now be blindfolding you. - Really?
-Are you going to take advantage of me? - Mm, l might.
-All right, hold this. - Okay.
-And... - Oh!
-We shall return. - See you later.
Don't worry about me.
- Open. - Oh.
Rememberthe first time we came here?
Yeah. What was that, like three years ago?
Yeah.
Nick, um, there's something
that l want to tell you.
Me first.
Happy birthday.
Nick! Oh!
- lt's beautiful. -Wish it was a diamond, but...
Well, l love it. l love you.
Here, put it on.
So, tell me again l'm not crazy and l shouldn't go get my master's.
Oh, no, you should. You should go pay some
art-school lifer to grade your pictures.
l don't have to pay them. l can use my grant money.
You get the point.
And more importantly, it's in New York, which is 3,000 miles away from me.
l know.
My job is about to blow up. l promise you.
l'm gonna have the money so we can open your own gallery.
You can shoot your own pictures,
just like we talked about.
- lsn't that what you want? - Of course.
This is perfect.
- Hey, don't get that, okay? - Hey. Oh, where is it?
Remember, l wanted to tell you something.
l know. Just give me one second.
lt's work. Hold on.
Hello?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Right. No no no, it's not-- it's not a problem.
All right. Bye-bye.
lt was Bristol. l have to go to work.
Yeah, and it's my birthday, so call him back,
tell him you're sick. You just can't go.
Listen. lf you do this for me,
we will come back here next year,
and we will stay the whole weekend,
and we'll get a hotel room, and...
Baby?
Help me out here. l really need to go to this meeting.
No, forget it.
l want a week.
-Aweek? - That's right.
You and me and no cell phones.
You can personally
smash this thing before we leave.
How's that?
Okay.
Actually, you know what? Why wait? l say...
we just drown this thing now to make sure.
Oh! Oh! Oh, that's-- l don't think so.
Give us something to talk about
Take yourtime...
Aw, shit. Baby, did you remember my sunglasses?
Mm? What would you do without me?
Yo, this is stupid! Bristol's a dick.
Yeah, a dick who's gonna get promoted instead of me
if l flake on this meeting.
- So he gets to ruin our Sundays then? -And Julie's birthday.
lf l want to beat 'em, l have to join 'em.
- Right now! - Don't.
Whatever, man. l'm telling you you just should blow the whole thing off.
Yeah, you know, you're right. l don't need this job anyway.
Great idea. And when you get fired l'm sure Trevor will last
about two weeks at work without you.
Why do you have to say that?
Wait, guys. Hold up, hold up.
Okay. Nice.
You know what, baby? You can move to New York with me,
and we could be starving artists together.
Wouldn't that be perfect, hon?
Sounds like you have it all worked out.
Shit! Hold on!
Oh God!
- ls everyone all right? -You okay? You okay?
- l think so. -Are you sure?
- Oh! Oh God! - Oh, shit!
Nick, move! Ah!
Nick.
Oh, Nick.
Shh.
Shh. Shh.
Nick, it's okay.
Room 9, we've got a code blue. He's gone into attack.
190 and rising.
Shh, Nick. Shh.
Nick...
lt's okay.
He gets nightmares sometimes.
He always has.
Nick.
Oh, Nick!
Where's Julie?
Honey, she's...
-Where are they? - They didn't...
- No. No. - Nick...
Okay, everybody.
-Just hold your horses for a minute. - Hurry up, hurry up.
-Yay! Come on! - No!
You know what? l cannot imagine my life without you now.
You know, l was thinking-- if you, um...
if you really need a change of scenery or whatever,
l've got some extra room at my place.
For what?
You.
l want you to live with me.
Nick, it's Mom.
How you feeling? l spoke to the doctor.
He said you canceled your appointment again.
Nick, you've got to take care of yourself.
You don't want the headaches to get any worse.
Please, call me.
- Hey, man. -What's up?
- Thought you were out sick. - No.
Bristol's looking foryou. Just a heads up.
Thanks, man.
-You don't pick up your phone? - Oh, l was in the copy room.
l need those spreadsheets.
Yeah, l put 'em on your desk last night.
l was here until 7:00.
Afterthat. Did you check your inbox?
Look, l'm telling you l can't find 'em, so just...
print me up a new report, spare me the boring fairy tale.
We've got the Rosemont Equities meeting, one hour.
Wait. What are you talking about?
11:00, sales presentation...
- l thought that was at 4:00. - l had to move it, okay?
And you're just telling me this now?
Look, Nick,
80% of all start-ups fail in the first two years. lt is an uphill battle.
Everyone's got to pull their own weight. No exceptions.
Okay. No problem. l'll have the spreadsheets.
l can give the pitch myself if you think you can't handle it.
l said no problem.
Okay.
You keep your shit together.
Okay? l can't have you pop another brain fart and fuck this thing up.
Clean up your desk. lt's a mess.
What we're talking about is software that will enable your handheld
to communicate with any wireless technology.
lmagine being able to access all of yourtechnology from here.
Picture it. Say you're in a cab on your way to a meeting.
You're checking your e-mails, you're surfing the web, a call comes in.
Well, your new client decides that they need additional product images
to be included in the presentation that you're giving in an hour.
You rush over to the job site
snap a couple of jpegs, get to your meeting.
And gentlemen, what you've got
is a slideshow in your pocket.
Okay, so...
everyone's developing next-gen software for handhelds,
including the big guys.
Why put money into yours?
Because ours is ready now.
We, with our partners at Strike Line, believe
we can have this on the market within the quarter.
- Nick. - ls he having a seizure or what?
No, he gets headaches. Nick! Nick!
l'm so sorry.
l swear, if l get one more S.E.C. notice,
l'm gonna burn the whole stack and move this thing to the Caymans.
Yeah, the weather's nice there.
l'm... sorry about the meeting, sir.
Nick, l shouldn't have to tell you--
80% of all start-ups fail within the first two years.
We make one mistake, it affects everything.
We can't go back and do this over again.
You're absolutely right.
l assure you this will not happen again.
Dave tells me you've been having some problems lately
with concentrating and remembering stuff.
-Are you sure you're okay? -Yeah, l'm fine.
Really, it's-- it's not a big deal.
l want you to just go home,
take the rest of the week off and recharge the batteries.
- Mr. Callahan, really, l can work. - Nick...
l need to work.
lt's done. Just go home.
We'll see you in a week.
Always searching
Looking forthe one to wrap your soul
Around
Sing the one name as you let go
The fear of flying
You're on your way
Endless love
And you say
You're gonna turn time around...
Oh, man.
Oh, shit. Baby, did you grab my sunglasses?
Mm? What would you do without me?
Hmm?
Yo, this is stupid! Bristol's a dick.
Yeah, a dick who'll get promoted
instead of me if l flake on this meeting.
- So he gets to ruin our Sundays? -And Julie's birthday.
Whatever, man. l'm telling you you should just blow the whole thing off.
You're right. l don't really need this job anyway.
Yeah. Great idea.
l'm sure when you get fired, Trevor will last
-two weeks at work without you, maybe. - ''Two weeks at work without you.''
-Why you got to say that? -What?
Ooh, guys, wait. l want to get a picture of this.
Nice. And you know what, honey?
You can move to New York with me and we can be starving artists together.
- lsn't that a perfect idea? - Put your seat belt on.
-What? - Put it on!
Okay. Shit.
l think so.
Hey, pumpkin. Hey, do you know what you're gonna wear?
What's happening?
Are you okay?
Nick?
Oh, Nick, are you okay?
What's wrong, huh? Huh?
What's the matter?
l think l was having a nightmare.
Oh, baby! lt's okay.
All right? lt's all over now. lt's all over.
Oh, shh.
Oh, God!
Okay? Now let's get going.
We'll celebrate my birthday. lt'll be fun.
- Okay. - l'm gonna go get ready. All right.
Okay.
l know how weird it sounds. lt's just...
l can't explain it. l...
there's this entire other version
of my life without you.
l went through a whole year
believing you were dead.
And then ljust-- ljust wake up, and there you are.
Okay, it was just a bad dream, all right?
lt wasn't real.
l'm here. Come on.
l hearyou, l do,
but it's just l'm having a really difficult time believing it.
lt's been a traumatic year
for both of us, okay?
- But we made it. - lt's not that.
Hey.
l am here.
And that's all that matters.
All right.
-You're right. - l know.
Oh, fuck. You're right.
Hi. Sorry we're late.
- Happy birthday. - Thank you.
- Happy 25th, old lady. - Oh!
How's it going, man?
Good.
lt is really frickin' good!
Oh, it's good to see you, man!
Yeah, it's good. Good.
You two, you look amazing!
Oh, how much has he had to drink?
Well, it's been a long night.
Speaking of which, why don't, uh...
-Yes, let's. - ...you and l do the...
- Right. - Okay.
...and you two-- good. All right.
Hey, how's it goin', man? Two MGDs,
Jack on the rocks and a house red, please.
Please tell me that you locked down the strippers.
The strippers?
For my bachelor party.
Your bachelor party?
Because... you two are getting married,
and l'm... the best man.
Which means l would have locked down the strippers.
Of course l did, dumb-ass!
-You're scaring me, man. - Dude, l got the...
10 hottest strippers ever.
10?
Awesome! Thanks. Thank you.
l am...
l am so psyched foryou guys!
Oh. Okay.
Do you still think you're dreaming?
Baby, what's wrong? Baby, what's wrong?
Nothing.
- l love you. - l love you.
- Oh god. -All right, baby.

Hey! How ya feelin'?
Oh, busted. Looking at porn. Again.
-Yeah. - By the way,
you were really fucked up last night, man.
Yeah, l had a couple of drinks.
-Yeah, a couple. - Um...
What?
Hey, guys. Bristol just called a staff meeting.
Conference room, five minutes.
Oh, God. What does that prick want now?
l don't know, but he wants to see you in his office beforehand.
What? Oh. Oh, guys?
l think l can already feel his foot up my ass.
All right, people, let's get right to it.
You've all heard me warn you about the problems
of the average start-up company.
Well, it seems that we've been on the losing end this week.
l had five deals fall through,
including R.S.B. Financial.
That's...
That's Trevor's account. He said it was a sure thing.
Well, he was wrong.
And unfortunately, Mr. Callahan felt
like he had to send a message on this one.
We've had to let Trevor go.
So l suggest that we all get back to work, hmm?
Doesn't that seem a little harsh?
Yes.
- So what actually happened? - Excuse me?
Well, if Trevorthought
it was a sure thing, why'd the deal fall apart?
Come on, Bristol.
You had Trevor's job once,
and you know how hard it is.
Yeah, and l worked my ass off, l didn't make mistakes
and l got rewarded.
Why? 'Cause the Strike Line deal
fell on your lap?
You were supposed to close the R.S.B. deal, not Trevor.
And you think you know something we don't?
What l know
is Mr. Callahan pays me to be the judge of you people,
and right now my judgment is telling me that you'd much rather be
at home watching ''Oprah'' with yourfriend
than working on this team any longer.
Congratulations, Nick. You're fired too.
Anyone else?
l love you, man, but this was not your problem.
Fuck that.
lf it wasn't for us, Bristol wouldn't have been promoted in the first place.
l'm not taking orders from him.
Nick, you worked your ass off at this place.
You put your blood into this place, man.
Yeah, l put my blood into this place, and Bristol's the one who gets promoted.
Nick, that's business. You taught me that.
Now, look. Go tell Bristol you're sorry.
Tell him you're still having side effects from the accident.
Only side effect l'm having is knowing life is way too short forthis.
What is this, a guy thing?
Trevor gets canned, so you just jump off the bridge with him?
Look, l was never gonna move up with Bristol as my supervisor anyway.
Ever since the guy got promoted,
he's just been looking for an excuse to fire me.
-Well, you didn't have to give him one. -You know what? The truth is,
he's the weak link. He's ruined the whole company,
and everybody knows it. And you know what?
l am better off just getting out from under him.
No, Nick. You're better off with a job.
l told you, l'll find another one.
A better one. We'll all be okay.
You also told me to stay here and not go to New York, because that would be okay.
l'm sorry,
and ljust can't forget what we lost in that accident.
Hon?
Hey.
Hey, it will be.
lt just takes time.
Nick, it's been a year.
l spend my days cataloguing other people's photo shoots for minimum wage.
l have half a portfolio and no time to finish it, and now--
Well, now l have to get another job so that we can pay our rent.
Excuse me.
Hey. Hey.
Hey.
lt's about the big picture. l finally see it now.
All that other stuff is just--just stuff.
Look, the only thing that is important
is that we have each other.
That's all that counts.
Always the salesman, aren't you?
Mm. Maybe l'll be a technical copyeditor.
ls that Bristol? Jerk.
Come on.
Nick?
Nick.
- Perfect shot. -Ah! Great.
- Thank you. -You're welcome.
- lsn't that great? -You look so good.
Nice. So, what do you think?
- Hmm? - The ring, honey. lsn't it beautiful?
Can you believe l picked that thing out myself?
- lt's fantastic. - Ooh.
Yeah. Sure, it's beautiful.
We're thinking next October.
Oh, how many people are you gonna invite?
You know, maybe 50. Just the important ones.
- Mmm. -Ah. Right.
- Dave Bristol. -What?
From your office?
Yeah, right. Like l'd invite that tool.
Looks like l'm out. Anyone else need more?
Oh, no, honey.
Bristol, merry Christmas.
