I would really love it if you did.

- You're singing it.

- Elise:
Come on.

You should've lied.

You should've said that you heard it

and that you liked it a lot.

I probably should have.

You definitely should have

'cause then I wouldn't have to do this.

- ( Applause )

- Cully:
Yeah!

Cully:
Get up there,

Ricky Martin. Let's go.

- Jesus.

- ( music plays)

Give a hand to Cully,

ladies and gentlemen.

That's a big act to follow.

That's right.

Never karaoke'd myself before.

This is very weird.

I'm sorry.

I'm gonna stop.

- ( Crowd boos)

- ( recording stops )

Reeves:
Sorry, I--

Jerry, do you have a guitar?

- You got a guitar back there?

- Oh, yeah.

- You want that?

- Yeah, bring it out.

- Let's do it.

- All right. Let's do this right.

- I'm gonna sing.

- ( crowd cheering )

Check, check.

okY-

Here we go, guys-

If you guys wanna sing along...

J' I've been gone for so long now I

J' Chasing everything that's new I

J' I've forgotten how I got here I

J' But I've not forgotten you I

J' We were just children I

J' But our eyes opened and I

J' You were all that I could see I

J' Through the good times

and the bad J'

J' You were the best

I've never had J'

J' The only chance

I wish I had to take J'

J' But there was no writing

on the wall J'

J' No warning signs to follow I

J' I know now I

J' And I just can't forget I

J' You're the best I never had J'

J' Nah, nah, nah J'

J' And in this motel J'

J' Well past midnight I

J' When I'm bluer than a bruise J'

J' You come drifting in I

J' Through the half-light I

J' In your funny yellow shoes I

J'And I hope that's you standing I

J'At my doorway I

J' That's the scratching

of your key J'

J' And I hope this song

I'm singing J'

J' Someday finds you I

J' Wherever you may be I

IOOhJ'

J' Through the good times

and the bad J'

J' You were the best

I never had J'

J' The only chance

I wish I had to take J'

J' But there was no writing

on the walls J'

J' No warning signs to follow I

J' I know now I

J' And I just can't forget I

J' You're the best I never had J'

J' Nah, nah J'

J' Nah, nah, nah J'

J' Best I never had. J'

( cheering, applause )

Thanks, guys.

Thank you.

(Cully yelling)

That's for you, Mary!

Yeah! Shots!

- So that's your big hit song?

- That's my big hit song.

I didn't know you remembered

anything about me,

let alone could write

a song about me.

Really?

Well, there was that...

moment in the parking lot.

- The parking lot, yeah.

- After that basketball game.

Yeah, there was that moment.

I got scared.

I had my boyfriend.

Boyfriend in Austin.

Now you have

a boyfriend in Chicago.

Yeah.

(sighs)

I should go.

Getting scared again?

- Little bit.

- I'll walk you out.

Marty:
Hey, Anna.

Should we wait outside?

( Mumbling )

You guys are 28 years old.

Do you remember that?

Sorry.

Is that what you do in New York now?

Wrap people's houses?

- No.

- Is that how you roll now, Marty?

- I don't--

- I know this is hard to believe,

but a couple of hours ago,

it seemed like a great idea.

It did. I was there.

It really--

You guys are gonna

clean all this up.

- Of course, yeah.

- All of it.

Absolutely. Every ply.

Every last little--

- We should probably--

- We could start now.

'Cause we got plenty of time

before our flight.

Well, come in.

You're letting all the cold air in.

Are you sure? We--

- Thank you.

- AJ:
So sorry again.

So, does your mom still live here?

I hope we didn't wake her up.

We tried to be quiet.

- She's a deep sleeper.

- Marty:
Okay.

AJ:

Cool.

- It's nice-- it's cool you're still--

- Boy:
Mommy, you awake?

Oh.

Was that a--

Last call, people.

Last call.

One more drink

and then the party is over.

Scott:
Peter, what do you want?

Last customer.

- Vodka cranberry.

- Yeah.

- You have fun tonight?

- Cully:
Yeah, it was pretty good.

Yeah, it was fine.

- Scotty?

- Yeah, baby.

Look who's ready to have fun.

- Shots.

- Shots.

Shots. Three shots.

- Let's do it.

- You, me, Jerry. Let's do it.

Barkeep, Jerry,

let's go for it.

- You're driving.

- Who says I'm driving?

You want me to drive?

All right.

Unbelievable.

You're not the only one that

can get drunk, you know?

Maybe there are some other people

at the bar

that would like to throw back

some drinks and, you know,

act like an a**hole

and sing bad karaoke.

You thought

my karaoke was bad?

Porter, come on, man. Are you

gonna take these shots with me or what?

So here's to you.

To my husband and your great night

and to us being the same age.

Cheers.

Oh, my God.

You Okay?

What was that?

- It's whiskey. You want another one?

- No.

Like you said, here's to me.

Scott:

Sorry, Sam.

Sam:
So much for that being fun,

huh, Jerry?

Peter?

We gotta talk.

Come here, dude.

Come on.

We're buddies now.

- Oh, my God.

- I'm not a douche anymore.

( Chuckles )

Well, I guess that's--

that's probably time.

Yeah.

I think that's it.

Are you good?

Are you good to get home?

Yeah. Sober.

Mary;

You?

Uh, yeah.

I'm gonna figure it out.

OkY-

Come on, I'll walk you out.

Um...

I'm right behind you.

OkY-

- Hey, Jake?

- Yeah?

I think you owe me a dance.

Prom king.

I owe you a dance?

Really?

I want to dance.

- Boy:
Mommy?

- Anna:
I'll be right there, sweetie.

Boy:
Okay.

(whispering )

( door closes )

( toy squeaks )

Hey-- I didn't even know

you had a child.

Marty:

Or children.

I know.

It's because I didn't tell you.

You want some milk?

You want some milk, baby?

- ( Cries )

- I know, I know.

So you have just the two little

whippersnappers or...

We should--

Hey, I think--

- Um, where's-

- We're so sorry, Anna.

- So where's the dad, or is he--

- AJ:
Marty.

Which one?

Which one do you

want to know about, Marty?

The dad who made--

who helped you make--

Shh.

That's not--

Marty:

Are they two separate guys?

Yeah, Jack's dad, we met--

I was cocktail waitressing

at a bar in college

and he moved to...

(sighs)

Atlanta, I think.

Yeah.

And, well,

Molly's dad...

I don't even know

where to start.

- You don't have to--

- Look...

this wasn't the plan.

I know you guys moved off

and became really successful.

And you're staring at me--

looking at me like...

But--

I mean, I--

those pictures of me

in high school.

L-- and, no.

It's what you said,

about that glow.

( Sobs )

I had it.

And I miss it.

And I just thought

for like, one night,

I could give it a f***ing...

And then you guys come

and you ruin it.

You completely f***ed it up.

(chair rumbles)

I have a single bed.

I just have a little single bed.

A tiny little bed.

I have a ZOO-square-foot apartment

because New York is so expensive,

I can't afford anything more.

I don't even have a separate room

for my toilet.

It's just all in one room.

And I wanted to get a double bed,

but then I wouldn't have had room

for a partition around the toilet.

It would have just been

a bed and a toilet,

and then the living room
