sacrifice.

I would have made you go, in

fact I

would have gone with you.

That's sweet.

You're really sweet.

I like your style.

I like your edge.

It's just that my style

is engaged to a man.

Can we get the bill?

Don't come any closer.

Come to my place.

I'm leaving.

Stop torturing yourself.

You are torturing me.

Take me somewhere.

You want me to take it off?

Hello.

Jasmine?

You sleeping?

No, no, I'm awake, I

dozed off for a few minutes.

Did you call the planner

about booking the wedding?

I haven't had time.

I'll take care of it.

I'll call her before my

meeting this morning.

The storm is really bad here.

I guess I'm not golfing this

weekend.

Hello?

Sorry.

Are you okay sweetie?

Bridget and I are working.

We had some work to do.

She just got here.

Okay you're

busy, say hello for me.

Try to take some time for

yourself this weekend.

I should get going.

Me too, love you.

Morning.

Is it you?

It's me.

You're persistent.

Look at you pushing.

I gave myself a hernia.

My mom said if I acted like a

girl,

I wouldn't get hurt all the

time.

Did you want to be a boy?

I just wanted her to let me be.

Can I have it?

Where will you keep it?

I'm going to frame it and

admire it

and all of your tomboy strength.

Tomboy.

I didn't like being called

that when I was a kid.

I couldn't hide it, but

I just didn't like being

called out on it.

Besides, I'm not a tomboy

I'm more legit than that.

Okay, legit tomboy.

Kiss me.

I've never done anything like

this before.

I don't usually

tell the truth about my past.

Because you

have so much to hide.

I'm not

hiding anything from you.

What did your mom say

when you became a roofer?

She's pissed about it.

She pushed me to leave

Sweden for university

because she didn't want me

working

on a roof with my dad.

My dad used to tell me I

couldn't

go up on any roofs without him.

F*** that, he didn't

even have to teach me.

It's like I was born with

suction cups for feet.

I hated being a kid.

I'm holding you to one

positive memory.

I liked helping my dad build

stuff.

I liked the rain, even though I

wasn't allowed to play in it.

My mom's cooking and that she

used to

iron my underwear into perfect

squares.

What was it like for you?

My dad made us laugh all the

time, he's witty and silly.

My mom is supportive,

as long as she approves.

When I was a teenager I had a

summer thing with a girl named

Denise.

That doesn't surprise me.

You remind me of her.

We were inseparable, we kissed

once.

It lasted like four seconds.

My mom walked in and freaked.

I wasn't allowed to say goodbye.

I never saw here again.

You just obeyed?

Of course.

It took me a long time to

forgive my mom.

I pretended everything was fine.

She tried to hook me up with

anyone

with a penis and a job.

I stopped thinking about that

part

of me and just followed

what was prescribed.

I buried that story.

It's like it never even

happened.

How old were you when you came

out?

Young.

Young?

How old is young?

I don't tell my coming out

story.

You're seriously not going to

tell me?

Why do I have to have one?

I promise not to tell

anyone you have one.

And I'll never ask again.

Which story do you want

it's not one that ever ends.

Last month I came out

to the forklift operator

at the roofing supply store.

The first time you were with a

woman.

It wasn't a surprise or

anything.

I was only ever attracted to

women.

You never got the fearful

flooding

rush that things might be

different

for you?

Every time I look at you.

I'm waiting.

You have until the sand runs out

or

I won't see you ever again.

Guess I'll see you around.

It's not that exciting.

The first time a girl had sex

with me.

She topped the f*** out of me

until

seven in the morning.

I didn't know what I was doing.

How things have changed.

I was only 16.

She was like 30 or something.

We both got what we

wanted and that's that.

How did your parents react?

My dad says he can't control

who I love.

I always wanted them to

love each other more.

I don't want to loose you.

I cannot breathe.

You're so pretty.

I want you to stay.

Shh, be quiet.

I could eat blueberry

pancakes at every meal.

I'm going to starve to death in

your bed.

I'm going to build a fortress.

I'll visit you.

I'm memorizing

every part of you.

I don't want

to think about my life.

The outside.

Have you ever tried to

count how many breaths

you take in a minute?

I tried,

I stopped breathing.

It takes your breath away.

I don't like goodbyes.

Will you drive me home?

I'm going to get us lost.

I love this house.

I know you do.

Look, that's my favorite tree.

Where?

There.

I don't see it.

That sad and lonely looking

thing?

It needs to be cut off.

I can bring my chainsaw over for

you.

Don't you dare.

Don't ever f***in do that again.

It was supposed to be frisky.

Kidding.

Frisky?

I'm going in now.

Hit me.

What?

Do it again.

Or I'll do it back.

You wouldn't?

That hurt.

Do it.

I want to see you tomorrow.

I can't. He'll be home

tomorrow morning.

I can't see you again, Dallas.

Hi it's Jasmine leave me a

message.

Hey, you might be asleep by now.

I called you earlier to let you

know

our golf game got rained out

I'm coming home, no point in

sticking around.

I'll wait for a cab. I'll see

you soon.

Don't get me going.

Get out and play with me.

Not in here.

I want to see you again.

I can't.

Rile, stop!

What the f***.

What the f*** did I do to you?

Don't touch me. Don't you

f***ing touch me.

You didn't even see me,

standing there,

you just,

you were gone.

She's a woman.

It doesn't matter.

Tell me what I need to do to fix

this to put us back on track.

You're a lesbian.

You've known me for

six almost seven years.

I thought I did.

I still love you.

Nothing has changed between us.

I saw it with my own eyes.

I can't lose you.

End it.

It's over.

In person or you'll never see

me again.

Can I shower and go over to her

place before work?

I'm a mess.

You want to look good for her?

Come on let's go.

I'll do it.

I'm so sorry I left you.

I had to run after him.

Rile's outside waiting.

Why?

I need to end this.

I don't want to.

You have to.

I shouldn't have put you in this

position.

I wanted it, I still do.

I don't want you like this.

Because you can't be in

something.

Jasmine!

What kind of something would

this be?

You're wearing an engagement

ring that someone else

gave you.

Drop me off at work.

Hey.

You okay?

Thank you.

Can I have a receipt?

Rile.

You were you never like that

with me?

Can you try too?

What's the point?

To what?

I love her.

Desiree?

No.

Jasmine.

She's straight.

You don't know.

This mean you're laying off

Desiree?

Come on.

What?

Where you going?

We were just

talking about you the other day.

Here I am.

Two bourbons and MJ.

She might be upstairs.

She knows I'm coming I texted

her.

Here, she'll be happy to see
