A Case of You Page #5

[LAUGHS]

Oh, my God.

That's so funny.

These are so good.

Do you have, like, a time frame

to make it doing

drawing or whatever?

Well, what do you mean,

"make it"?

Success is a myth.

Love's the only true currency.

After all this is done,

all that really matters

is how and who you loved.

But there must be something

that you're working toward, right?

This.

What do you mean, this?

This brings me happiness.

You know, and maybe, you know,

in a week or maybe a year

from now, it won't, but...

You know, then I'll just move on

to the next thing that does.

All right.

Looks good.

I think... I think we're done, yeah.

It's about time.

You two are such a rad couple.

You both draw or whatever.

It's so cool.

I remember when Kyle first...

Hey, let's go. Sorry.

Good luck.

Good luck to you.

Yeesh.

You must not be able

to always draw people

completely accurately

at the risk of offending

them, I imagine.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Well, every now and then,

you get someone that's, like,

slightly offended.

I kind of miss Kyle

in a weird way.

Yeah, well, we'll always have

the memory of Kyle

in our hearts.

Yeah, that's true.

That's true.

We can always look back

and smile.

[CHUCKLES]

[LAUGHS]

What?

Nothing.

I'm...

Just glad I met you.

That's all.

I was...

Oh.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Um...

I'm sorry.

That was...

I was supposed to kiss you

on the cheek.

Right.

[EARNEST MUSIC]

I'm supposed to kiss

you on the cheek too.

Are you free tonight?

Yeah.

Yeah?

Sure.

The future's

still a mystery

So your ex...

your ex is singing tonight?

This is the one from the hospital?

Yes, Tony.

Oh, okay.

Oh, cool.

He's really cool,

and he just got back from, like,

traveling all around the world.

Wow.

Yeah. I can't wait for you

to meet him, though.

He's gonna love you.

Oh, I can't wait

to be loved by him.

[CHUCKLES]

So I thought you said, um...

I mean, isn't he a carpenter or...

Yeah, yeah.

Well, you know,

Tony is an interesting one,

because he kind of does, like,

a little bit of everything,

so he just got into carpentry,

and he's just been doing it on the side

for friends and family.

Oh, very cool.

Yeah.

Nice.

He's like a jack-of-all-trades.

Exactly.

I can't wait to meet him.

Hey!

Jesus Christ.

Hey, man!

Tony!

Oh, Tony, hey.

It's you, right?

Hey. How's it going?

I am so f***ing glad

to meet you.

Yeah. F***ing good

to meet you.

Thanks for coming up.

Mm. Wow. Looking good.

[LAUGHING] Thanks.

I love you, babe.

Oh, you know I wouldn't miss it.

Yeah?

[LAUGHS]

Come on. Let's get this

musical debacle started.

We're so excited.

Yeah.

I can't wait to hear you play.

I've heard so much about you.

Oh, that's good of

you to say, man.

Thanks a lot.

I can't wait to play,

but I went and chopped

up my paw really good.

Oh.

Tony, you have to be

more careful next time.

Yeah, okay.

You hear that?

That is exactly the reason

why she gets along with my ma.

[BOTH LAUGH]

Aw.

Oh, my God!

What?

I can't believe I

didn't think of this.

Sam plays guitar.

Seriously?

Yeah.

No.

Brother.

Oh.

You're up.

Oh, n... oh, well...

He plays!

No, no!

No, no, Tony.

Would you? Come on.

Tony, honestly...

I won't take "no" for an answer.

Please, Tony.

Don't do this to me.

Tony...

You guys ready?

Brother, you ready?

Yeah.

All right, Three, two-go.

I got to tune this up.

You know what?

I should tune.

Sorry, guys.

It's how this is... yeah.

Yeah.

Is this... this is...

You take your time, bro.

You take your time, brother.

I don't think... I'm not

really used to playing this.

It's a... I'm a righty.

He's good, right?

I mean, he does this... yeah.

Go ahead. Go ahead.

[GUITAR STRAINING]

Can you do it with him?

Oh! What? I'm sorry.

Popped-popped the old string.

Sorry, guys.

It's all right, brother.

Oh, sorry.

I owe you a guitar.

You break things.

Things break.

They're objects.

It's all right.

All right.

Thanks, brother.

This one's gonna go out

for you.

What was that?

I just... it's too hard.

Too much.

Don't worry about it.

[FOLK MUSIC PLAYING]

Birdie Hazel, ladies and gents!

Bring her on up!

Come on up.

Come on up, doll.

No!

Come on.

Okay.

Okay.

[LAUGHS] Bye.

Oh, who will dress

Your pretty little feet?

Who will glove your hand?

And who will kiss

your rosy red cheeks

When I'm in a far-off land?

The storms are on the ocean

The heavens may cease to be

This world may lose

its motion, love

If I prove false to thee

[SCATTERED CHEERS]

You're so, so amazing.

Like, I had no idea

you could do that.

Oh, thanks.

[LAUGHS]

Oh. Oh, my God.

Talented.

Hi!

Oh, hey.

Hey.

This... hey.

Hi.

Hi.

This is Birdie.

I'm Ashley. We've heard

so much about you.

Hey. I'm Eliot.

Nice to meet you.

Birdie.

Yeah.

I feel like I know you already.

He won't stop talking about you.

Oh, uh... oh.

Stalker alert.

No, no.

Nothing like that.

Oh, did you tell her about

the Sacred Spirit retreat?

No, Eliot.

You guys, you don't have to come.

Sacred spirit? What? What?

It's this... go ahead.

Well, the next

one's only one night.

It's sort of a nightly camp

to kind of gather your thoughts.

It's a bunch of other people

out in nature,

to refresh your spirit.

That sounds awesome.

That's, like, right up my alley.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's cool.

It's pretty cool.

I don't know, but...

Do you... you want to go?

Really?

Yeah. I mean, really.

Is that... would that be cool?

Oh...

Absolutely.

Yeah. Oh, my God.

Yeah. Please. Please.

If that's okay,

that'd be great.

Yeah.

That's great.

Yes!

Oh, great.

Oh, good.

'Cause I wanted to go too, so...

Okay, good.

Perfect. Perfect.

Awesome.

Well, it was nice

to meet you guys.

Where's the nearest subway stop?

Oh, I'll walk you...

No, no. Forget it.

Get in the car. It's too cold.

Really?

Yeah. Sure.

Oh, my God. That's so nice.

Thank you.

Okay.

All right.

Uh...

Bye.

Bye.

[CHUCKLES]

Hey. Here.

Oh, I... oh.

I got it.

Where am I going?

You really got it.

Just... She seems great!

She knows not

to say anything, right?

Hey, El.

Do you have a cool,

like, hippie-type shirt

I could wear for the retreat?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yep. Just give me a minute.

What are you doing?

I'm just...

I'm looking at a magazine.

Looking at a magazine?

We got to go!

What magazine you looking at?

Martha Stewart Living.

Why...

Oh, God.

Martha Stewart?

Really?

Yeah, dude, you got to see

this Thanksgiving issue cover.

It's insane.

No, I'm good.

Buddy, we got to go.

All right.

Thanks for killing the mood.

Sorry.

You pumped for the retreat?

Pumped?

No.

Um, do you... oh.

Birdie'll love it.

Do you think?

Thanks.

She lit a fire

And now she's in my every thought

She lit a fire

And now she's in my every thought

Where

Could that girl have gone?

Where?

I've wandered far

Where

Could that girl have gone?

She left no trace

But I know her face

I will find her

It's really cold.

Ahh.

Yeah, you know, I don't...
