Boy Meets Girl Page #8

Right before you and I

started datin', actually.

What do you mean

you slept with her?

We did everything

there is to do.

So, no, I don't hate her.

And if you don't

hate me for doin' it,

it might go

a long way towards me

not hatin' myself

for doin' it either.

Of course I don't hate you.

Hmm.

How come you never told me?

Right.

And even Robbie never knew?

No one did.

We were very careful.

Did you like it?

Do you wanna do it again?

I liked some things about it.

But really, I just liked her.

A lot.

And I wanted to be

as close with her as possible,

so one night I... we...

Mm-hmm.

But, no, I-I've thought

about it a lot,

and I don't

need to do it again.

How 'bout this...

how 'bout we'll

postpone the wedding,

not call it off, just, just

postpone it for a little while.

And get to know

each other again?

Starting now.

The real us, not...

not the, "us,"

everybody told us we were.

And then,

ask me again and, um,

I'm pretty sure I'll say yes.

Hold your horses, I'm comin'.

Well, come on, now,

you're gonna be late for work.

'cause your dad's waitin' on me

at a parts' store in Otter Creek

and he will not be happy.

Let's go!

Let Ricky know

she's got some mail.

All right, you got it, Joe.

Thank you.

Come on!

Okay.

Let's go.

What? I thought we were

in such a hurry. Let's go.

I don't even get

a kiss hello anymore?

That's it,

a-after a week together,

we're just some

old married couple,

all the magic's gone?

Well, you know,

if you'd gotten here on time,

than just a little

ole married couple kiss.

Oh, really?

a little ole married couple

quickie BJ.

But you missed your chance.

Okay, but seriously,

I can't be late, let's go.

Don't you think you

should check your mail?

For what? No.

Oh, I-I mean,

you should check your mail.

That was kinda mean, actually.

Well, now, wait a minute,

I'm not being mean.

I just, you know,

I think you should just

check your mail, that's all.

Why?

What's goin' on?

Nothin', Ricky, I ju- Look,

Joe just came by, he put some...

just check.

Please?

- What the -

- What is it?

Okay,

what the hell's goin' on?

- Oh, somethin' interesting?

- What did you do?

Why are people

sending me money?

Ricky, Ricky.

Ricky, look.

Okay,

that's it for today's video.

Before I go,

I wanted to talk to you

about the outfit

that I'm wearin'

because I'm wearing a dress.

What?

Why?

I know, because I like it.

It was made

by this girl named Ricky,

who's a fashion designer

from Kentucky.

She didn't get accepted into

some fancy

New York fashion school,

and now she is discouraged

about the fashion line

that she wants to make

eventually in her life.

So I am going to send

one dollar bill to Ricky

in helping with her

to create her fashion line

and I encourage

you to do the same

if you feel strongly about this.

I think that she could

be a really great designer

and I wanna support that,

so Ricky, here's to you.

And that's the end

of this video. Bye!

Couldn't fit it

all in the truck.

David and Francesca

were kind enough to help.

I hope you don't mind.

Well, it was Robbie's idea,

but I thought if we

maybe sent her the dress.

Not that I didn't love it,

of course.

We wish you the very best

of luck in New York, Ricky.

We really do.

Well, thank you.

All right, there's

the last of it, I think.

Oh, I'm so proud of you.

I know that you've always

thought that she didn't, um,

you know, totally approve,

but that's something that

you'd do well to let go of.

You used to cry

somethin' fierce in the night,

and the only thing

that would soothe you

was her whispering

in your ear over and over,

"You are perfect

in every way, sweet boy."

She woulda said

sweet girl if she could of.

- I know that in my head, but -

- Well, know it in your heart.

Because life is short.

There ain't no time

to waste it on things

that are not the truth.

I'll try, Daddy.

Yeah.

Hey, kiddo,

so you're

the man of the house now.

You take good care of him,

okay?

I will.

You should post that video.

Okay.

Post it for me.

I will.

I love you, Sweetheart.

I love you, too.

That's great, man.

Appreciate it.

That kid of mine's been throwing

me curveballs my whole life.

But luckily, I play baseball.

Take care of my

little girl up there, okay?

You know I will, Sir.

All right.

Are you ready?

What do you think?

- Dad, can I have her -

- Her room?

No, the car.

Yeah.

Yeah!

In about ten years.

Oh, man, come on.
