Mnh!

That's good.

Just take -

Stop. Stop.

Hey.

Yeah?

Will you lie down

with me?

Lie down with me,

please.

Yeah.

Move over.

Yes, pull.

It's so straight.

It's not as straight

as yours.

Why is your hair

so straight?

- I don't know.

- Do you straighten it?

- No.

- No?

no.

Okay.

Hey.

This one's for you, Dan.

Oh, yes. Whoo!

I don't know

this song at all.

I don't.

Ahem.

Dan, the man.

There we go.

There we go.

Yeah!

Whoo! Whoo!

Huh.

Hey, it's me.

Stop.

What are you doing?

What do you think -

Stop! Sto- stop!

Hey. Ow!

What the f***?

Get off me!

F***!

You - get the f***

out of here! Go!

I'm going. It's not that

f***ing big of a deal.

Please,

just calm down, okay?

Yeah, I was

about two years old.

Wow. Very nice, guys.

Very nice.

I'll be right back.

Mel, I can't understand

anything you're saying.

I don't -

What the f***, Mel?

You call me, you say

you're at my house,

and you're crying

and I have to

f***in' leave

and come get you,

and, now, you don't want

to talk to me?

Can you...?

All right.

He was on top of me.

I pushed him off,

I pushed him off,

'cause I didn't want to

and he -

Oh, sh*t.

What happened?

What are you

talking about?

Dan, I didn't even

want to go out.

I didn't want to go out,

but Becca -

What are you

talking about?

He was just everywhere.

I pushed him off.

Oh!

Are you okay?

Yeah, I just - I'm fine.

What the f***?

Who is this guy?

I'm fine. I don't know.

He's gone, he left.

What did he do to you?

Oh, my God.

I can't take it.

What did he do to you?

Nothing. He didn't -

I pushed -

Can you just hold me,

please?

You don't understand.

I just need you to hold me.

I - ahhh.

Ohhh.

You okay?

Oh, sh*t.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have

come over here.

You don't even want

to see me.

I shouldn't have come

over here.

No, that's not true.

That's not true.

Sorry.

Don't be sorry.

Don't apologize to me.

- Please, don't apologize to me.

- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I was just so scared.

Hello?

Hey, Mom, it's Dan.

Just calling to let you

know that Mel and I

are gonna come down

to Houston this weekend

to help Mel's mom

pack up the house.

I just got back

from next door.

It's chaos over there,

but -

Oh, really?

Yes. I mean, but it's okay.

Do you want to do

a dinner Saturday night,

the four of us?

Oh, yeah,

that sounds good.

Okay.

I'll get it together.

All right, I'll call you

when we're heading down

and I'll see you

this weekend.

Great, I can't wait.

I love you.

Give my love to Mel.

Love you, too.

Okay. Bye-bye.

Bye, sweetie.

You want some help?

No.

Oh, God.

I can't believe your mom's

moving out of this house.

Where's the tape?

I don't know.

Will you come here?

C'mere.

You okay?

I don't know.

I think

you're done packing.

It's the end

of my childhood.

I have to grow up now?

Yeah, I guess so.

I guess that's

what's happening.

But it's not that bad,

right?

It's kind of

a cool thing.

Everything fits in boxes.

How can you pack up

your life in boxes?

I don't know, but you've

done a great job.

- Thanks.

- You really did great.

- Hey.

- Hey.

What's up?

Do you remember

our first time?

Mm-hmm.

And do you remember

that my mom came home?

I'm pretty sure she was

there during some of it.

No!

- I think so.

- No!

'Cause when

we came downstairs,

her face was like

"How...

How is everything?

Is everything okay?"

Dan, I couldn't

look at her.

Oh, I remember.

Oh! I get embarrassed,

just thinking about that.

Oh! You just totally

ran out on me.

I'm sorry.

I was like "what the f***?

Where did she go?"

Then, we got ice cream.

You bought me

an ice cream.

Yeah. Gentleman.

Classy.

Hey.

Hi.

How's it going?

Good.

How's the packing?

Oh, it's

a little intense.

Mel and her mom,

they're upset.

- It's hot.

- Yeah.

Well, you can always

take a swim, after.

Mm-hmm.

I just want to get it

through, you know?

Get it done with.

What are you doing?

Oh, emails, nothing.

Mm-hmm?

I have some news.

Um, so, the record label

offered me a job

in New York.

Wow.

Yeah. It's cool.

Yeah.

But I don't know whether

or not to do it, you know?

Like we - Mel and I -

we had a plan.

I just don't know

what to do.

Okay, do you - you want

my real answer?

Yeah.

'Cause my real answer

is that

you need to make this

decision about you,

not Mel and not

this relationship.

Honey, I know

how special it is

with you and Mel.

You're family

to each other

and we all are,

we're all family.

And I love her.

This is nothing

against Mel.

But I am telling you

this is

a great opportunity

and I know you want it.

I know you do.

And, honestly,

if I could tell you

anything

that was valuable -

And I'm talking to you

as an adult, now -

That if -

if I could go back,

have it over again,

there are things

I would change, there

are things that I -

Like what?

Well, I don't know

and I'm - this isn't about me

or regrets, or anything,

it's just I'm trying

to share with you

that we make decisions,

they affect the rest

of our lives.

I would have maybe gone

to grad school

and had a career I love

and, you know.

Please, you know

what I'm saying.

I know what

you're saying.

It's kind of

stressful.

Well, I don't want you

to have regrets.

Me either.

Yeah, that's what

I'm talking about.

This life goes around

one time.

That's it.

- No pressure.

- Well, it's true.

I know, you're right.

F***.

You know,

we want this for you,

if it's what you want.

So, um...

I have to

tell you something.

The record label

offered me a job.

What?!

Oh, my God.

That's amazing.

Yeah, I know.

I'm superexcited.

But it's gonna be

in New York

and I'm gonna like help

open the office there

as Jason's assistant,

basically.

What?

In New York?

Yeah.

I mean, it's gonna be

like totally fine.

It's just for a year,

you know?

We'll do long-distance

and we'll visit

each other,

like my freshman year.

But that was

completely different.

It worked out fine, though,

and you can come

to New York

when you graduate.

No, you were

two hours away,

not half the country

away.

That's okay. We've been

together for so long,

we could do that.

It's nothing.

Just listen, okay?

I've thought about this.

Well, what about us?

I've thought about it

and -

Yeah?

We can totally do

this long-distance thing

for a year.

W- Well, well -

Why are you reacting

this way?

Did you take the job?

No, I haven't

taken it, yet,

but I'm going to,

obviously.

I ca-

I can't believe

you're doing this.

What am I doing?

What do you mean?

You're leaving!

You're going to New York.

You can't just decide

to do things.

Why can't you just be

happy for me, okay?

This is a job that

I've wanted for so long.

- No, the job you wanted was here in Austin.

- I just want you to be happy for me.

This is what

we planned for.

It's not as if things

always happen

according to plan.

Well, it's not like you

can just make the changes.
