Yeah that'd be great, yeah.

The very thought of you

And I forget to do

Those little ordinary things

That everyone ought to do

I'm livin' in a kind of daydream

I'm happy as a king

But foolish though it may seem

To me that's everything

The mere idea

The longing here for you

You'll never know

How slow the moments go

Until I'm near you

I see your face in every flower

Your eyes in the stars above

It's just the thought of you

The very thought of you

My love

I see your face in every flower

Your eyes in the stars above

It's just the thought of you

The very thought of you

My love

Thanks.

God, that was boring

in there, huh?

Yeah.

You want to go for a ride?

Okay.

I have two boys.

I have an eleven

year-old and a fifteen year-old.

Stephen, the eleven year-old, has

a patch on his eye right now.

- Oh yeah?

- Yeah.

Marc got him in the eye

with a power drill.

How's that happen?

Stupid... I don't know.

I've never heard of that.

You have any kids?

No.

We could go back to my place

if you want.

We'll have to be quiet but...

It'd be nice to hang out.

Yeah.

You have to stop.

Get off of me,

you have to stop.

I can't. I can't...

You have to stop,

get off of me.

Baby I can't, just...

just hold on.

We have to try

and be quiet.

Door slams shut]

Thank you.

We're gonna have to be quiet,

they're right in there.

They're right in there, okay?

Go upstairs.

F***.

F***.

Good morning.

Hey.

You in a hurry?

I'm late.

Can I make you some

breakfast or something?

I'm late!

I'm sorry, it's my second time

late this week-

I just...

I just wanted you to meet

Stephen and Marc, it's okay-

Who?

Stephen and Marc...

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Look, second time late this

week, I gotta run.

Hey, I had a good time.

F***, Gabe?

Gabe!

My car, I forgot my car.

My car is at the club.

Okay, okay, okay!

I'll be in the truck!

Hey.

Hey.

Want some crackers?

No thanks,

I'm good.

How's your eye doing?

It's doing good.

I don't even know why I have to

wear this stupid eye patch anymore.

It doesn't

do anything.

You should just take

it off. Who cares?

Okay.

The fair's coming up...

I know, you going?

Yeah, I think if my

older sister takes me.

Do you kiss girls?

Yeah, why?

I don't know.

What else have you done?

- What do you mean?

- With girls, what else?

A lot of things.

With who?

Who have you kissed?

Do you want to

kiss me?

Sure.

Well not if you

don't want to cause' it's-

Yeah.

Okay.

Ready?

Yeah.

You want to try again?

Sure.

You want to try again?

Sure.

Why'd you take off

your eye patch?

It wasn't doing

anything anymore.

It made me

look like a pirate.
