I was in the neighborhood, so...
Okay. Yeah, I'm really
busy right now.
It's getting
really hectic, so...
Mmm.
- Right.
- Yeah.
See you later.
Okay.
Take care.
Now that wasn't
too awkward or anything.
I want a shower
just witnessing that.
Charlie!
Hey, I get off
at 6:
00 tomorrow.I'm gonna meet
a friend downtown,
but maybe you wanna walk me there?
If you're in the neighborhood?
Yeah.
You're the man.
Oh, yeah.
People like you.
Girls like you.
Girls like you.
And they would if you
knew more of them,
but you live with your parents.
You're a loser.
No. Come on!
Come on, Charles!
You're a good, humble guy.
Admitting you're humble while
staring at yourself in the mirror
is probably the least
humble thing you can do
but you just gotta relax. Relax!
You live a completely
normal life.
You just gotta have
a little bit of pride.
Have some pride.
Have some pride.
Have some...
Have some...
Have some pride!
Oh, hey, hon. Sorry.
Forgot my towel on the bed.
I walk almost everywhere.
Helps me think.
What do you think about?
I guess I think about all I could
get done if I stopped thinking.
- Oh.
- What?
No, that's original.
I mean, even if it is annoyingly
self-defeating. No offense.
But, no, I just thought you
were gonna pull out some crap
about how all you think about
are cute animals or world peace.
Or something like that.
Oh, you mean you
didn't catch that?
That little pretentious bit
was supposed to be a metaphor
for how much
I like cute animals.
- And world peace.
- And world peace.
In fact, I want world
peace for all animals.
And I'm doing this Noah's ark project
It should only take 40 days
and 40 nights or so.
Right. After 40,
your ark's built, no?
Or 80, yeah, but who's counting?
- I'm not counting.
You been here before?
Yeah. Yeah, a few times.
When I was a kid it was my dream
to have my own restaurant.
Not anymore?
Uh, I don't know.
Can you cook?
Uh... that's what they tell me.
I wish I could cook.
I can't even make cereal.
- Or coffee.
- A**hole.
Wait. So how come you work at a movie
theater instead of a restaurant?
Sensitive subject?
No, not really. I just...
I don't have all
the answers yet.
Where do you live?
I live off Charles street.
- Oh, yeah.
- With my cousin. Yeah.
Well, my family's in Florida. They moved
last year because of my dad's work,
but I decided to stay here
so I could finish high school,
and I could also stay with Brad.
How long have you been together?
Almost four years. Yeah.
Now that I think of it, I don't think
I've been single since grade school.
It doesn't surprise me.
You know what's
strange about you?
On one hand,
you're painfully shy
and on the other hand, you say these things
that I don't think I could ever say.
- Things like what?
- Like what you just said.
I mean, it's not a bad thing.
You're just different.
Different.
You know what I mean.
Different. No, I can live
with that. Different.
Different.
I'm gonna say... maybe.
Maybe. Yeah.
- Well.
This is it. Thanks for the walk.
Oh, no, no. Anytime.
Would it be out of line
to ask for your number?
How about you give me yours?
Here you go.
Okay. Cool. I had fun today.
Yeah, me too.
We should do it again.
Yeah, um...
Okay, I don't know how to say this
without sounding like an ass, but...
Oh, no. You have a boyfriend who you love,
and we are only gonna be friends. I get it.
There's no expectations.
- Sweet. Okay.
- Really.
I'll call you.
Hey.
Who was that?
Oh, just a regular. We were both
walking in the same direction.
He's kind of cute.
- You think?
- Yeah, kind of.
Oh, this is a bold
choice right there.
Do you have any truffle salt?
I'm going out for a bit.
What are you staring at?
I'm sorry. Looking at you
makes me feel young again.
- How long are you staying for?
- Just a little while.
I made arrangements to be out during
the day, so I won't get in your way.
- Good. Bye, honey.
- Bye.
Won't even look at me.
Just give her a break.
One, please.
Application, that is.
Nine-fifteen, ten-fifteen.
This guy can't seem to hold a
job for more than two months.
Just give him a chance.
I'll vouch for him.
You owe him a favor?
No, just one of those things.
Cryptic. You'll train him?
Our journey ends here.
Today, your ass is mine.
- Hey!
- Sh*t! What?
You want the job or not?
All right.
So, popcorn. Easy, huh?
But if they want butter, you give two
squirts in the middle, three on top.
Any more, and we have to
charge 20 cents extra.
Did you know that emus
are the only animals
that willingly have sex
with humans when seduced?
Think about that.
- No, not really.
Think red, think red, think red.
Hey, this is Brad. Sorry I can't
Hey. Hey, Brad, it's me. Amber.
Give me a call.
Hi, this is Leslie. I can't
so leave a message
and I'll get back to you.
Hey, Leslie, it's Amber.
Call me.
Amber, hey.
How are you?
I'm okay. Okay.
What are you doing tonight?
Tonight I'm...
Just making some dinner and...
You are? What are you eating?
Um...
So how do you two
know each other?
- Oh...
- From my work.
I work at a coffee shop.
Oh, no kidding! Me too.
When I was a kid
Here we go.
We were known as the best
cup of Joe in Brooklyn.
"You want good Joe?
You grew up in Georgia.
I know where I grew up.
the story a bit. Jesus Christ.
- This is really good.
- Oh, thanks.
Kid's a genius in the kitchen.
Like you would know.
Amber, let me show you
what Charlie won
in a big state-wide cooking
competition a couple of years ago.
It was city-wide. I didn't win.
I just came in second.
Mom!
Oh, wow!
- How about it, huh?
- -Yeah.
It's got his name on it
and a medal.
That's nice.
And one of the judges, Trevor...
- I forget his last name.
- Trevor Vanier.
Well, he writes for this major
cooking magazine in New York.
He came up to Charlie afterwards
and told him that he thought
he was one of the most talented
amateur chefs he'd ever seen.
- He gave me a medal.
- -Yeah.
- How about it?
- Yeah.
And then what?
Well, he gave Charles
his number.
And said he was all ears
if he ever wanted to talk.
But I never called. We know.
Thank you, mom. I'm an a**hole.
Language!
- Steven Jacobs!
- Put that down.
You don't tell my son
what to do.
Probably learned
the behavior from you.
- What did you say?
- What? No, nothing.
- Guys.
- Steven, put it down!
Well, don't be so hard
on the kid. He's just a kid.
You make the rules
in your own house!
Steven, come on.
Give it to me.
Hey. Not the lady.
Just take me.
- Oh, that's nice. Both of you.
That's very nice. That was
academy award-winning material.
Amber, I'm sorry, sweetie.
Come on.
