A Lot Like Love Page #4

---

What's jumping in the sack?

It's a game people play

at picnics, honey.

Hey.

I do weddings, head shots,

baby showers, for the money,

but I met a girl at a party,

a gallery owner,

and she said she might show

my work there, so...

That's really cool.

How'd you do that?

You leave the shutter open.

The hard part's staying still,

otherwise you're just a blur,

like the cars in the background.

I'm gonna go splash

some water on my face.

So make yourself at home.

Wait, he just landed on your doorstep?

Honey, that's perfect.

Don't get excited,

he lives 400 miles away.

Emily, let's not get picky.

And I couldn't look less sexy.

Stop it, you're gorgeous.

- Has he put the moves on you yet?

- He's not the type.

Someone's gonna have sex.

Will you stop it?

I've got to go, wish me luck.

You don't need it. Call me.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

She owned a business, right?

Like, selling antiques.

She used to work

for the mayor's office as an advisor.

- But she said she didn't like it.

- Wow, two careers already.

Yeah. So I thought

she would understand

the kind of work you've got to put in

when you're first starting out, but...

She said that she couldn't be

number 3 or number 4

on someone's list of priorities.

She said she could be number 2,

but not if number 1 was selling diapers.

Hi, it's me calling to see

how things are going.

This is... Hi. Hello?

It's a work-related call.

I'll just be one second.

Yes, can you get the?

Please figure out if the negatives

are gonna be ready by tomorrow.

- What?

- How's it going?

- It's not.

- It'll be fine.

As long as you're not wearing

that orange sweatshirt.

Don't call back here.

Sorry about that, I just...

- Where are you going?

- What's your stance on pancakes?

I'm pro pancakes.

Do you know

what you're gonna have yet?

I just can't...

I can't decide what to get.

Come on, Ollie,

you've got to just let it go.

Smile.

You're here with me.

There it is.

That's the one.

Hi.

- Gina, hi! How are you?

- I'm good, how are you?

- Good. It's been such a long time.

- Really long, yeah.

- I've been meaning to call you.

- Me too.

I was hoping we could actually

get together and talk a bit.

- Yeah, that would be great.

- It'd be good.

Do you have a couple of bucks

for the waitress?

Emily. Hi.

- Hey.

- How's everything? How are you?

- I'm good.

- Yeah? You're good? - Yeah.

- Great.

- I was gonna sneak on by

but then I thought, "I saw you,

so you probably saw me and..."

Yeah, it's good

that you both said hi.

I knew that she'd be fine with it.

It's been a long time.

Yeah, I'm glad you...

- Hi. Oliver.

- Peter.

- Oliver.

- Good to see you again.

We should probably go

if we're gonna catch that...

- You're right. Emily, take care.

- Take care, it was good to see you.

- Bye.

- Nice meeting you!

I'm starving.

- Let's get out of here.

- Okay.

All right.

Come on. Let it go.

Smile.

You're with me.

Shut up.

Get off the road, grandma!

Come on.

Let it go.

Smile, you're with me.

Where are we going?

We're heading north.

I've been killing myself at work.

Nights, weekends.

Even at home, Bridget's home.

I moved in with her.

That was my big mistake right there.

I should have stuck with the plan.

The plan was working.

The irony of it is that Bridget

actually loves plans.

We used to go on these trips.

She would plan everything

down to the very last detail.

Including the gas station

that we were gonna stop at.

I remember this one time,

we were in Ashland, right?

#Baby please don't go. #

We were at this B&B station.

#If you leave me now... #

And it starts raining, right?

I'm not talking about regular rain,

it was like torrential-downpour rain.

#Baby please don't go. #

So Bridget comes up

with this great idea, right?

- #I just want you to stay. #

- Park the car in the car wash.

Because who's gonna wash

their car when it's raining?

#A love like ours is love

that's hard to find. #

#How could we let it slip away? #

Come on.

#We've come too far

to leave it all behind. #

#How could we

end it all this way? #

#... we said today. #

- Do you want something?

- Just pick something.

Did you buy the whole store?

Want some pie?

You want some Cheetos?

Look at the moon.

Let's pull over.

- Did you love him?

- Peter?

No. Maybe a little.

Do you love Bridget?

- I guess so.

- Do you or don't you?

I thought I did.

If it wasn't love,

it was a lot like it.

Now I don't know.

Sounds stupid when I say it out loud.

If you're not willing to sound stupid,

you don't deserve to be in love.

- Take this.

- What?

What was that?

- What?

- That.

I didn't hear anything.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God.

Ollie, are you all right?

Okay, I'm freezing...

- Whoa, you just looked.

- No, I didn't.

- You said you weren't gonna look.

- I didn't. Go.

I looked.

- Looking good.

- Shut up.

Very nice.

You're just taking advantage of me,

come on!

Okay, the shutter's gonna stay open

for 40 seconds, keep still, okay?

Okay.

- Are you ready?

- Ready.

It's cold.

- Hi.

- No moving.

- You're moving.

- I can't help it.

Folks, can I talk to you

out here for a second?

Folks...

Folks, this is a national park.

Why don't you get back in your clothes,

back in your car

and back on the highway.

Have a nice day.

I've got to go.

Okay.

Anyway, we've got this big VC meeting

in New York.

Got to put on this big

dog and pony show.

- You know what VC is, right?

- No.

It's venture capital.

It's like a big influx of cash,

to really help us grow our business.

- It sounds exciting.

- I'll grab this.

- I got it.

Well...

You you've got my number.

And you've got mine.

Yes, I do.

- I'll let you know how things go

in New York. - Yeah, good.

I've still got some...

feelings to sort through, about...

- Bridget?

- Yeah.

I didn't forget.

It's Bridget.

- I... it's...

- It's okay.

- Is it?

- Yeah.

I met someone.

You met someone?

It's not like we're getting married

or anything, but...

Wait, I'm confused.

This is someone different?

Not the writer guy?

A different guy, a new guy.

A different guy?

What?

I don't... You know, it's...

Thank you.

So...

Don't.

You'll ruin it.

Get out of here, I'm sick of you!

Pitch and go, keep up the pace.

It's not a big deal. I'm sorry.

It actually is quite a big deal,

but don't go too fast.

You get really jittery

when you go fast.

Don't speed through the whole thing

'cause nobody understands

what you're saying.

- We invested a lot of time...

- Jeety, I need you to shut up!

- This is exactly what I mean.

- You're driving me crazy.

So...

the baby...

The...

The client inputs the child's data

and the baby actually

tracks its growth.

So when it's time

to move up to a bigger size...

There it is.

Bam! Just on your doorstep.

No hassle, no fuss.

Does the baby have a name?

Does the baby have a name? Yes.

What were we saying

for the baby's name?

- Freddy.

- Freddy.

- Doesn't have to be Fred. - Gabe
