[bar manager] These glasses need to go back into the drawer.
[waiter] All right, okay.
Hey.
Kirsten.
Hi.
God, it's good to see you.
I called last week to thank you
for bailing us out with that social worker.
Did you get my message?
Um, did I?
Yeah. Sorry.
I just... It's been kind of...
Is everything okay?
What? No. Yeah.
I was just in the neighborhood,
and I thought maybe you'd want to do something.
Yeah.
Sure. Of course.
Great. Have you had lunch?
Wait. You mean now?
Oh, is that not...
No, I'd love to. It's just, uh...
I mean, I just got here. I've got to work.
Of course. God, I'm such an idiot.
So maybe dinner?
Dinner.
Yeah. Dinner's great.
[Kate] What the hell is that?
It's a double sleeping bag.
My parents used to use it on family trips.
Romantic.
Ah, well, not really.
Actually, I was always pretty freaked about bears,
so I'd usually climb in with them.
Bears?
Don't worry.
I'll protect you.
God, I can't wait to get out there.
I just love camping.
Just don't act too jazzed around my dad.
He'll get suspicious.
What, you didn't tell him?
Oh, right. "Bailey and I are going camping.
Just the two of us in a double sleeping bag."
So, what's he think?
That Sarah invited me to Tahoe.
What if he talks to Sarah's parents?
They think I'm going too.
Sarah's going to tell them at the last minute
that I got the flu.
Well, what if they call to see how you're feeling?
Then I'm dead.
You know, we can put this off, Kate,
till the weekend when you're at your mom's or something,
because I can go anytime.
No, what am I gonna do, let him completely run my life?
You could.
What's life without a little risk?
[Artie] Risk? Blech.
Yeah, right. Blech.
How about a video game?
Um, we don't have any.
Too bad. Mortal Kombat is the coolest.
But I could get some.
I should probably go.
But I thought you were gonna stay till 8.
I mean, well, last time you stayed.
Karate starts tomorrow.
I have to try on my gi.
But we were going to play the Paganini tomorrow.
We said we were going to practice together.
Oh. Well, we'll do it some other time.
What other time?
When?
I don't know.
Whenever.
See you when I see you.
[sighs]
"See you when I see you"?
What kind of line is that?
[Julia] That's your career line.
Oh, yeah? How's it looking?
Well, put it this way.
Can you say, "Would you like fries with that?"
Thanks. That's great. That's great.
Okay, okay, my turn. Let's see here.
Ooh, strong fingers.
From typing?
Let me guess. You're working on a thesis.
A thesis? You mean, for college?
You don't have a ton of silver rings on,
so I would say SF State rather than Berkeley, right?
It's not palm reading if you have to ask questions.
You're right. You're right.
Okay, let's see here.
Uh-huh. Your dating line.
I don't know that one.
Well, it's right here, plain as day.
I see a very clear image of you having dinner
at that new restaurant on Mason tonight.
Tonight. Am I alone?
No, interestingly enough, no. No.
Actually, will you look at that?
You're with me.
Imagine.
Wait, wait, wait. There's more, there's more.
I see you behind the wheel of a car.
Really?
Yeah, can you drive? Because my car's in the shop.
Me? Drive?
Yeah.
Sure. Sure, I can.
[theme song playing]
♪ Everybody wants to live ♪

So there are a few small hurdles.
Nina, I have to find a car,
get a license, and learn how to drive by 8:00.
Those are not small hurdles. Those are biggish hurdles.
What am I thinking?
I should just forget it.
No. Look, you said you liked him, right?
But it's ridiculous. I mean, he thinks I'm in college.
So? You will be soon.
Three years is soon?
I don't know, the more I think about it...
You think too much, Julia.
Just keep it simple.
You have fun with him, right?
Yeah.
Okay, then.
[laughs]
You know, last night when I was leaving,
he found this crushed flower on the floor,
and he picked it up and wiped it off
and put it in my lapel.
Oh, cute.
Really cute.
Really cute!
[laughs]
So I take a cab,
and I tell him my car's in the shop too.
Attagirl.
It'll be weird though, because there's so many things
I can't talk about.
[Nina] Well, maybe not telling him everything
will actually work for you.
Men love mysterious women.
[door opens]
[Claudia] Hi, Artie.
How unexpected that we should meet.
What do you mean?
I come here every day.
Uh, hey, Artie. Mint chip?
Yeah.
[waiter] Do you want something too, Claudia?
Maybe I do, and maybe I don't.
What's with you?
Why?
Do I seem mysterious?
Yeah.
[Claudia] When you think about it,
how well do you really know me?
Think of all the hidden depths to my character.
Do I have to?
[waiter] Uh, here you go, Art.
Oh. Thanks.
[waiter] Thank you.
Well... See you.
Just hang on a sec.
We'll get plates and eat like real people.
Forget about the plates.
Let's get primitive.
Think of it as practice for the weekend.
Weekend?
Sarah's family's into roughing it.
Hey, Mr. Bishop.
Good to see you again.
Likewise.
You know, Patricia made dinner for you.
Oh, sorry. I didn't know.
Katie, next time you go out for a walk,
I think you should put some more clothes on.
It's embarrassing to think of you
running around town in your underwear.
What? These are normal clothes.
Well, I've got to run, or we'll be late.
This came for you today.
I took the liberty of opening it.
It's good news.
You should be very proud of yourself.
He opens your mail?
You can't be surprised.
So, what did we win?
Damn.
"Dear Miss Bishop, we are pleased to inform you
that you've been accepted to Hotchkiss
as a mid-year transfer student."
Transfer student? What is this?
It's his idea.
Kate, the address on this letter says Connecticut.
It's a boarding school.
Your father wants to send you to a boarding school?
How long have you known about this?
You saw me get the letter right now.
Well, this... this isn't, like, real, is it?
I mean, how serious is he?
Did he look like he was joking to you?
So after a year of it, my parents realized
paying all that tuition for me getting drunk
wasn't really cost-effective,
so they yanked me out of school,
and they sent me to rehab.
Wow. How long ago?
Oh, let's see.
Four years, eight months, 15 days.
Give or take.
That's right.
So you're not freaked out by that?
No. Everyone has problems.
Thanks.
So tell me something else.
No.
We've been talking about me all night.
You tell me something.
Tell me, uh, your deepest, darkest secret,
something you've never told anyone,
like, uh, you're a bed-wetter.
Oh!
Or you're a really convincing transvestite.
I promise I'm not.
You're a Republican.
[laughs]
You're beautiful.
But that's not a secret, is it?
Can we, uh, go back to your place?
Oh, um... I live with this family.
Not my family, another one. I work for them.
Oh, what are you, like, a nanny?
Yeah, like that,
and they're kind of funny about visitors.
All right.
So I'll call you tomorrow?
Okay.
All right.
Hey!
Thanks.
Oh, um, this family's kind of funny about phones too.
So if anyone other than me picks up,
you should just hang up, okay?
Wow.
Can't come over and can't leave messages.
Guy's got to put up with a lot for you, huh?
Do you mind?
No, not at all.
Hmm.
Bye.
Oh, God!
I guess I didn't get around to cleaning. Sorry.
It's okay.
I've seen this place a mess before.
In fact, I've made it a mess before.
So... how are you?
I finished my course work.
Did I tell you that?
Does that mean I have to call you "doctor"?
Not until I do my dissertation.
If I do my dissertation.
Why wouldn't you?
No, I'll do it.
Anyway.
You know what? I'm such an idiot.
I meant to cook, and then...
It's okay.
I'm really am... I'm sorry. I...
Kirsten, it's okay.
To be honest with you, uh...
Dinner wasn't the big draw.
I've really missed you.
So hi.
Hi.
It think it's actually against the law to be up this early.
Damn.
Hey...
-Good morning. -Good morning.
This stupid dryer.
What's wrong with it?
I don't know. It just keeps stopping.
It's probably a short.
If you come back to bed, I'll fix it for you.
I can't.
Hey.
What's going on?
Nothing.
Well, then slow down a sec.
Where are my keys?
What's the deal, Kirsten?
No deal. I just started my day.
Yeah, well, me too.
I was hoping to start it with you.
What's going on?
I just... I have to get going.
Lock the door behind you, okay?
Mrs. Remsen, hi.
Bailey, what a nice surprise.
I hope you, uh, you don't mind me
just dropping in like this.
Not at all. I just hope you're here to buy some art.
Business has been awful.
Ah. Well, maybe next time.
What's up?
Well...
I probably shouldn't have come to you about this, but...
About what?
It's about this whole boarding school thing.
Oh.
And I know that you and Mr. Bishop,
that you're not exactly buddies, but Kate...
I think she's scared to talk to him about it herself.
Well, he can be pretty imposing.
Right.
Right. So I was thinking that maybe you could.
You know, because Kate going away,
I think it's a bad idea.
I mean, it's just so far away.
Oh, I know.
Listen, I was ballistic about it at first.
What mom wouldn't be?
So why...
I mean, no offense, but how could you not do something about it?
Well, because, sweetie, she's a big girl.
I have to let her make her own decisions.
If this is what she wants,
if it'll make her happy,
I owe it to her to be supportive.
Wait a second, you think it's what she wants?
Well, she didn't send away for all those applications for nothing, did she?
She, uh...
Yeah.
No, I guess not.
Why is there an apostrophe?
Snackwell's?
Why hasn't he called?
It doesn't really make any sense, you know.
It's not like they're made by a Mr. Snackwell or anything.
Hey, Bill...
I've been getting a lot of those really annoying phone calls.
You know, the ones where the caller just hangs up.
-Have you been getting them too? -No.
I mean, not a lot. Maybe just one today?
No.
You know, I can't even remember the phone ringing today.
Well, then, why don't you just call him?
What about being mysterious?
Forget it.
It's established that you're mysterious,
so now there's nothing mysterious about being mysterious.
Nina, you're starting to bug me.
Fine.
All right.
All right, what do I do?
[Nina] Call him.
Or better yet, go over there.
[Julia] He's not expecting me.
[Nina] Exactly. It's unpredictable.
Men love that, women they can't quite figure out,
women who are full of...
Surprise!
What are you doing here?
You're not in this class.
Exactly.
I bet this is the last thing you'd predict I'd do.
This is advanced beginner, Claudia.
Only kids who took karate last year
get to be in advanced beginner.
[sensei claps loudly]
You have to go to beginner beginner.
But you're not in beginner beginner.
So?
[sensei claps]
Class is starting. You're in the way.
Hyah! Hut!
-Hyah! -Hut!
You had no right to talk to her about this.
Yeah, well, do I have the right to know
what the hell is going on here?
God, Kate, here I am thinking things are great,
and you're applying to boarding schools.
Okay, first of all, we were not together when I sent away for these.
I did that after you broke up with me.
And you didn't think that was information
worth sharing with me once we got back together?
-No, it isn't about you. -If it's not about me,
then why'd you feel the need to lie about it to me?
I didn't want to hurt you.
Oh, yeah? Well, oops. Have fun in Connecticut.
No, wait, Bailey. Wait.
Would you for one second stop thinking about yourself
and just think about what this would mean for me?
If I go to Hotchkiss, I'll get to spend every night in the same bed.
No more schlepping over here on Sundays,
no more having to put up with
my father's constant criticism.
I mean, God, Bailey, I am so sick of that.
Well, so he's strict.
That's why you're leaving?
He's not strict.
He's mean.
He hates me.
He does. He hates everything about me,
the way I dress, all my friends,
and nothing I ever do is good enough.
I get straight As, but I am not the first in my class.
I run track, but I didn't make the tennis team.
I try so hard, but it's never enough.
I just can't stand it anymore.
Well, so why don't you just live with your mom full-time?
They share me. Joint custody.
So? Get it revoked or something.
I can't do that.
Bailey, he's my dad.
Besides, Hotchkiss is a great school.
Every January, 12 seniors take a trip to Paris.
No kidding?
Paris.
Hi.
Hey, what's up?
The sun.
It's perfect weather for a picnic.
Oh, listen, Julia, it's kind of a bad time--
We got chicken, we got fruit,
we got potato salad, I make great potato salad,
and we've got candles in case we stay out past dark.
So throw on some jeans, and we'll hit Mount Tam.
Now?
Before the ice cream melts.
Oh, boy. Um...
Come on. I went to all this trouble.
No, no, no. I...
I can't.
Is someone here?
No, no. I'm...
You know, I'm just working.
Oh.
Look, I'm... I'm really sorry.
Can... can you call me next time?
Sure.
Yeah.
Kirsten!
I know what you're doing.
Charlie, what are you doing here?
It's payback, right?
I cheated on you, you treat me like dirt, and we call it a draw.
What?
You're punishing me.
That's not what I'm doing.
Then maybe you want to tell me what you were doing,
because you clearly were not doing what I was doing.
-Which was what? -What do you think?
I was...
I was... I don't know.
I was trying to make this work again.
Then I owe you an apology.
Look, it was just one of those things.
I'm sorry if you thought it was something more.
That's it?
It's the best I can do.
Look, let's just forget
last night ever happened, okay?
Hey, Kirsten, wait a minute.
What?
Well...
If it wasn't to pay me back, then why?
Just...
Because, okay?
Because it's getting dark earlier, and I...
I guess I just thought having somebody else there...
Hey. What's up?
Nothing.
Kirsten, talk to me.
It's not a huge deal, okay?
In fact, it might be nothing,
and it's definitely not anything
that you need to worry about.
What is?
I might be a little sick, that's all.
[Kirsten] I was thinking it was nothing.
I mean, women's bodies can be pretty unpredictable.
Then I started getting this pain too,
so I went to my doctor.
[Charlie] Uh-huh.
[Kirsten] She said it was this mass.
A mass?
Really? Where?
It was my gynecologist, Charlie.
It's not in my throat.
Right.
Anyway, she's sending me
to a bunch of other doctors.
I guess I can look forward to a mess of tests and diagnoses
this holiday season.
Fa la la la la.
[sighs]
You know, it could be a lot of things,
but it could be the big thing.
You don't want to hear this.
No, of course I do.
The big thing, huh?
How big are we talking about? Bigger than a bread box?
Is that supposed to be a joke?
No.
I'm sorry.
Why didn't you just say something
last night?
Because I didn't want to be with anyone
who's looking at me like you're looking at me right now.
Listen, you should just go home.
Okay.
Are... are you sure?
Do you not want to be alone right now?
No, I'll be fine.
In fact, I'm really tired.
I just want to take a bath and get into bed.
You sure you don't want me to stay?
No. I'd just fall asleep on you anyway.
Okay.
I just... I can't believe it.
I mean, he was so nice to me.
At the restaurant, he held my hand under the table.
He didn't kiss me or touch my leg
or anything like that. He held my hand.
Well, maybe there wasn't another woman there, Jule.
Maybe there's some other explanation.
There was a woman there. Trust me.
Oh. You don't know that.
Yes, I do. You should have seen how embarrassed he was.
I feel so stupid.
Look.
Maybe we should think of this as a blessing in disguise.
How?
Well, maybe it wouldn't have worked out anyway.
He is a lot older.
So what?
Anna Nicole Smith's husband could be her grandfather.
I could have fallen in love with him so easily.
Wait a minute. You had one date.
A great date.
Yeah, but, Jule, you never mentioned anything about love
until you found out he had someone else.
I mean, people are always more attractive
when you think someone else has them.
In fact, you know what?
Maybe that's what he was doing.
[Julia] What?
[Nina] Just trying to make you jealous.
Like this?
You're supposed to be my boyfriend, not my father.
You know, Claud, this whole thing
just feels a little funky to me.
Just work with me here, Will, okay?
[man] Excuse me.
Oh, you.
[giggling]
Hey, Claudia.
Oh. Hi, Artie.
So, what can I get you, honey?
She likes Rocky Road.
I used to like Rocky Road.
Now I prefer a more mature flavor.
Mature, right. So, um...
Cappuccino Crunch?
Exactly.
He knows me so well.
Yeah, so well.
[giggling]
You know, Claudia,
I don't think we should practice together anymore.
What do you mean?
You're not as much fun as you used to be.
I'd kind of rather practice by myself.
Was that part of the plan too, or--
[door closes]
Jule!
I hope you don't mind my dropping by.
I know you don't like visitors.
What?
-[Julia] Morgan. -Hey.
Hi.
[Charlie] I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name.
I'm Charlie.
Charlie, Morgan. Morgan, Charlie.
-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.
Uh, where's Bill? Owen needs a bath.
I'll do it.
It's his job.
Bill!
[Morgan] I...
I thought you were the nanny.
Oh, I am for the others. Bill's for the baby.
That guy's got other kids? Seems really young.
Oh, he's not a parent. He's a son.
Kind of old to be living at home.
He's just visiting.
Jule, if Mr. Curran calls about a cabinet job,
tell him I'll be back around 10 or so.
[door slams]
He visits a lot.
Yeah.
Listen, Julia, I came by
because of what happened yesterday.
It wasn't what you thought.
Look, don't lie to me, okay?
It's just going to make things worse.
I'm not going to lie.
Okay.
So what's her name?
Carrie. Carrie Latham.
Oh, my God, you're married?
She just turned two. She's my daughter.
Oh.
So, what about the mother?
Well, we're friends.
We never really were much more.
Not a Dan Quayle situation, but it works.
I wanted to tell you, really,
but I never know how it's going to go over.
You know, relationships are hard enough.
I guess I thought if you knew, you...
You might not want to see me again.
Well, it is a pretty big surprise.
I should have said something,
but I didn't tell you before,
so I guess I panicked.
It was wrong, and it was stupid,
so... here I am.
I don't know what to say.
If you can't deal with this, I'll understand,
because I like you too much to risk blowing everything
because I was too scared to tell you the truth.
I think I want one with auto focus.
Got to have auto focus.
Can't have blurry pictures of Paris.
You know what else it should have?
That timer thingy, so we can take pictures this weekend.
We don't have any pictures of us, you know that?
Yeah, you know, about... about that...
No whining about having your picture taken.
No, I mean, this weekend.
I don't think I'm going to be able to make it.
What?
I've got all this homework I've got to do.
It just kind of piled up,
so...
Bailey, it's our last chance to go away together before I leave.
Yeah, well, I'm sorry, but I'm failing chem,
and I've got to do better this semester,
or else Social Services is going to be on our case.
Why don't you just trade off chores
with Julia and Charlie this week?
Hey, don't organize my life for me, okay?
If I say I can't do it, I can't do it.
But it was just an idea.
Is there something wrong with me telling you an idea?
Just don't tell me what to do. You always do that.
-No, I don't. -Yes.
You treat me like I'm a kid or something.
You're always...
You're always, like, fixing my collar
or reminding me not to forget the keys.
You know, I can take care of myself.
You're trying to ruin this, aren't you?
How can you say that?
I'm not the one who's leaving.
Well, I'm not the one who's ruining the time that we have left.
What do you think, that it'll hurt less when I leave
if we're mad at each other?
I don't need this.
[Kirsten] He said it wouldn't hurt or anything,
but still...
[Charlie] Mm-hmm.
What's it called again?
I told you, "laparoscopy."
You think they call it "laparoscopy"
because they make the incision in your lap?
I don't know.
Oh.
I feel like I should go out or something, you know,
because this might be my last night without really bad news.
But I'm not in the mood. I'm tired.
We could go to that new bar on Telegraph.
I just said I'm tired, and I'm not in the mood.
Right, but--
Are you even listening to me just a little?
What? I--
Just forget it, Charlie.
I'm sorry.
Just forget it.
No.
I am. I'm sorry.
What?
God, that is the last thing
on my mind right now.
Okay. So sorry.
Look, no.
This was a mistake, me coming to you.
This isn't going to work.
Why not?
Because right now,
what you're good at, it's not what I need.
Then tell me what you need.
I need someone to remember the name of the damn test, okay?
Who isn't sitting there thinking about sex
when my whole reality is shifting here.
I need someone to take care of me.
I need a friend.
I could be your friend.
Look, Charlie,
you and me, that's not really our dynamic.
Which doesn't make you a bad person,
but, look, I've got a lot of people
that I can turn to.
I called my family today,
and my sister's going to come out.
So you don't have to worry about me, okay?
No guilt.
You're off the hook.
What happened?
Some jackass slashed my tire, so I had to change it,
but, of course, the lugs were stuck, so it took forever.
Now I probably need a new tire, which I can't afford.
Do you need help?
Does it look like I do?
Bailey, please don't do this.
Look, I really don't want to talk about this now, okay, Kate?
Please, don't say no to this weekend.
It could be our last chance to spend time together
for a really long time. I don't want to give that up.
Yeah? Well, you can't always get what you want.
-I know that. -No, you don't. You don't, Kate.
Because all along, we've done whatever you wanted to do.
-That's not true. -Yes, it is.
It is, and most of the time, it was okay,
but we both know
that when what you wanted and what I wanted
were different things, I did not get what I want.
Well, okay, then. Okay.
Okay, what?
Okay, you're right.
Okay, that's true.
I think we should both get what we want.
What are you saying?
I think that's what this weekend should be.
I think we should go away and really be together,
like you wanted to.
You...
You mean... "together" together?
Really together?
Yeah.
I want us to. Before I go.
[knocking]
-Hey. -Hey.
Something up?
No. No, I just...
kind of had a question.
Shoot.
Well, it's...
It's not a question, really. It's just something to ask,
and it's kind of personal,
so if you don't want to answer...
If I don't want to answer, I won't answer.
Okay, here's the thing.
I was wondering...
You know, when you're with a girl,
is there, like, a right way and a wrong way?
To...
Not really.
No.
I mean...
You just...
It's just whatever happens, you know?
So you just know,
like, when you're there, what specifically
to do, right?
I mean, you want to make sure
that, you know, she's cool with what's going on too.
Oh, yeah.
Right. Yeah, of course.
And how do you know that?
You can tell if it's,
you know...
And if it's not,
then you just... you do something else.
Okay.
Thanks.
Hey, Bay.
The sex,
that's the easy part.
The sex, you'll figure out.
It's everything else that's hard.
Well, maybe I left the wrong number, and that's why he didn't call.
Yes.
No, that's right.
Okay.
Bye, Mrs. Baum.
What was that about?
Artie.
He doesn't want to be my friend anymore
Why not?
Because I made him think Will was my boyfriend.
Why?
Because nothing else worked.
I tried being mysterious.
He got mad, so I tried surprising him.
He got mad. Everything I did, he got mad.
Of course he did.
Sounds to me like you're trying to mess with him.
You don't mess with people you care about, Claudia.
What are you talking about?
What about you and what's-his-name,
you know, the guy that's too old?
Like pretending you're in college
and that you drive and stuff.
If you can do it, why can't I?
Oh, my God, Claudia, we really need to have a talk.
There she is.
Before you say anything,
let me explain.
Oh, it's you.
Just hear me out.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry about acting so weird.
I'm sorry about coming to your karate class,
and that guy,
he's not really my boyfriend.
Gee, what a surprise.
Well, I guess I was trying to make you jealous.
Why?
Because you started karate,
and you stopped hanging out with me, and I guess...
I guess I was trying to get your attention.
You know, so you'd want to hang out more again.
Why didn't you just say so?
Okay.
I want to hang out more.
Okay.
Sure.
[Kate] Do you have...
[Bailey] Yeah, I brought some.
Are you sure you're okay?
Yeah, it's just... go on.
Okay.
You don't really want to do this, do you?
No, it's okay, you can.
I can?
Kate...
What?
I don't want to make you do this.
You're not. I told you. I want us to.
Why? Why are you doing this?
Because I'm going away,
and you're not going to be driving me to school every morning,
and you're not going to be calling me every night
before you go to bed anymore.
I don't know, you know, we're not going to have any of that stuff,
and maybe you'll forget about me,
but if we have this, you know, instead of all that other stuff,
maybe you won't forget.
Maybe it'll keep us together.
God.
Kate.
What?
This is not a reason to do this.
You're mad.
No. No.
I'm sorry.
Look,
I don't know what's going to happen with us, Kate,
but you're going away for a really long time,
and, I don't know, I just...
I have this image of Hotchkiss being this place
full of really good-looking, athletic, smart guys,
and they're gonna all want to go out with you,
and for you to give up something that's so important
just to try to hang on to me.
It just doesn't make any sense.
Because someday,
you're going to want to spend the rest of your life
with a guy.
And you know that you want to look at him
and tell him he's the only one.
Maybe that guy will be you.
Yeah, maybe.
[crowd chatter]
-Hi. -Hey.
For Carrie.
So we're okay here? We're cool?
Yeah. Very okay, very cool.
Listen, can we go talk somewhere?
Uh, there's something I need to tell you too.
Yeah, sure, sure.
Mr. Latham.
Oh, Jule, can it wait one sec?
I've just got to take care of some stuff here.
Sure.
[Morgan] Thanks.
What were you saying?
[inspector] Yeah, yeah, your liquor licenses, they're all fine
and up-to-date,
and I just thought I'd do an ID check on my way out.
Well, everyone's all right here.
I mean, our bouncer can spot a fake a mile away.
I'm sure he can.
Well, what do you say we start with...
with you guys right here at the bar?
What are you...
I was in bed.
Okay, fine.
Go ahead and get back in bed.
I'm serious. Hop in.
Charlie...
Listen,
this is the thing.
It's Friday night, and I'm at the supermarket,
and I have this incredibly long list of things
that I have to do for everyone else.
I'm going along, feeling sorry for myself,
and suddenly, I see...
A hair dryer.
Yours is busted,
and without even thinking about it, I put it in the cart,
and then I remembered your toothbrush.
I used it the other day,
and the bristles
are all raggedy, so...
You got me a new one.
Green. Match the walls in your bathroom.
And... tuna fish,
because I know you like it,
and it lasts forever.
Charlie...
You don't like my presents.
No, I love them,
but what's going on?
Why are you doing this?
Well, see, this is interesting.
I wasn't exactly sure myself,
but then I... I realized something.
I realized I love you.
And, uh,
I can't not be here for you, I can't not take care of you,
because when you love someone, and... and they need something,
you have to get it for them.
It's, it's-... You have no choice.
It's weird.
It's like this wave
that propels you over the Bay Bridge
with your dopey little tuna cans.
It's... Ah.
I love you, Kirsten.
Charlie, I--
And it has nothing to do with sex.
What you said about... needing a friend,
that's me.
I am your friend.
I mean, I just...
You're scared, and I can't stand not being able to try to make it better,
whatever it is, whatever happens.
It's not cancer.
I'm not going to die.
I saw the doctor.
[sighs in relief]
But it is something?
A malformation of my fallopian tubes.
Is that bad?
Is that dangerous?
What does that mean?
It means I can't have kids, that's all.
And you want kids.
And I want kids.
So you're sad.
So I'm sad.
Okay.
[sniffles]
I'm not going anywhere.
