Brief Reunion Page #3

---

girlfriend to your birthday party.

Aaron:
Nah, it was fun.

Teddy:
I just thought it would be

a cool surprise. For both of you.

Aaron:
It was.

Teddy:
Thank you.

Aaron:
But, I'm not a big fan

of being tagged in photos online.

Teddy:
I thought you'd get a

kick out of that.

Aaron:
I didn't.

Teddy:
I bet Lea did.

Teddy:
Okay, Mr. Old-fashioned.

Aaron:
Well, I better

Teddy:
You ever wonder what

happened to Gitta?

Aaron:
Not particularly.

Teddy:
You didn't keep in

touch? After you broke her heart?

Aaron:
I didn't break her heart.

Teddy:
I did.

Aaron:
What?

Teddy:
Kept in touch.

Aaron:
Good for you.

Teddy:
She's happily married

now too. Or married, anyway.

Teddy:
In fact, she lives in

Montreal.

That's actually just a few hours

north of here, isn't it?

Aaron:
Yeah, about three.

Teddy:
You never wish it was

you?

Aaron:
What?

Teddy:
Happily married to Gitta

Glitter?

Aaron:
I am happily married.

Teddy:
'Course you are.

Aaron:
Gotta get to work.

Teddy:
I'm sure she'd love to

hear from you.

She'd probably be too shy

to friend you though.

Teddy:
Maybe you should friend

her.

Aaron:
Maybe I will.

Teddy:
Or I could tell her you said

it was okay for her to friend you.

Aaron:
Enough! Okay?

[Music]

Teddy:
Hey, look who's here!

Teddy:
Did we miss much?

Gavin:
No, they just started.

Teddy:
Great

Lea:
Do you guys want to join

us?

Teddy:
Sure.

Simone:
Thank you.

Simone:
Oh! Don't worry, we can

sit on the ground.

Aaron:
No, we've got another

one in the car.

Teddy:
But you're gonna miss

the show.

Aaron:
It'll just take a few

minutes.

Teddy:
I'll come with you.

Aaron:
No. No, it's okay.

Lea:
Simone, sit down.

Teddy:
You know if you just

hear me out on this thing, Aaron.

I think you'll see

its got mad potential.

Aaron:
I'm just not looking for

something like that right now, Teddy.

Teddy:
Like what? You don't

even know what it is.

Aaron:
Teddy, how many different

ways do you want me to say no?

Teddy:
Aaron, we all know what

Proem sold for.

Aaron:
A long time ago.

Teddy:
Don't you think the least

you could do is hear me out?

Considering all that

happened with me and Proem?

Aaron:
You never worked for

Proem, Teddy.

- Teddy:
Before it was Proem - when it

was just an idea. Our idea. In Prague.

Aaron:
Even if you were, in fact,

there when we thought of it...

Teddy:
I said what if? I

planted the seed.

Aaron:
Everybody in the world said what if?

But we figured it out. Mark, Neil, and me.

Teddy:
Yeah, after you pushed

me out.

Aaron:
You were never in.

Teddy:
Aaron, I know I could be

kind of difficult back then...

Aaron:
No, Teddy - come on.

That's not...

Teddy:
No it's okay. I know.

But, I've actually changed a lot.

Aaron:
We all have.

Ever since Prague it seemed like you and

Mark didn't want to be my friend anymore.

Aaron:
Come on Teddy! We never

were. Neil was.

Teddy:
He didn't like you as much

as you think he did, you know.

Teddy:
He once said you were a

non-player.

Aaron:
Goddammit.

Katie:
What?

Aaron:
Nothing.

Aaron:
Can I see your message

log?

Katie:
Whose number do you need?

Aaron:
Can I just see it,

please?

Aaron:
Thank you.

Aaron:
I'll give it back to you

in a minute.

Katie:
Okay.

Aaron:
Close the door.

Aaron:
What do you want, Teddy?

Gitta:
Come in.

Gitta:
Aaron?

Gitta:
You have some explaining

to do, mister.

Aaron:
What are you doing here?

Gitta:
You didn't expect me?

Gitta:
Teddy told me that... He

told me that you wanted to see me.

Aaron:
I'm gonna kill him.

Gitta:
I am such a fool. I'm

sorry.

Aaron:
Wait. Wait.

Gitta:
Please just let me go.

Aaron:
I have some explaining

to do?

Gitta:
You just... disappeared.

Aaron:
You never answered my

letter.

Gitta:
What letter?

Gitta:
What What letter?

Aaron:
The day I left I left you a

letter. I asked you to come join me.

Gitta:
No, you just disappeared.

Aaron:
No, I gave it to Neil to

give to you.

Gitta:
Why would you write such a

letter? What if I didn't receive it?

Gitta:
You hoped that I wouldn't receive

it. That was your passive way out.

Aaron:
No, I gave it to Neil

the day I left to give to you.

Aaron:
Why didn't he give it to

you?

Gitta:
You didn't want to be

with me.

Aaron:
No, I did. I... I waited.

Gitta:
You didn't know how to

explain me.

Aaron:
No I... assumed.

Gitta:
Then why would you do

such a thing, Aaron?

Gitta:
It's so unlike you. What if I

didn't receive it? I didn't receive it.

Gitta:
You look good.

Aaron:
So do you.

Aaron:
I'm married.

Gitta:
Do you love her?

Aaron:
Yes.

Gitta:
Good for you.

Gitta:
Why didn't you try

harder?

Aaron:
I'm sorry. I'm sorry

Aaron:
What?

Aaron:
That, uh...

Aaron:
That girl that was in the

photo with me that Teddy posted...

Lea:
Yeah?

Aaron:
She was actually my

girlfriend at the time. Sort of

Lea:
Well what happened to her?

Aaron:
I don't know.

Lea:
I mean why did you break

up?

Aaron:
It's just... It never

would have worked out.

I had to go back to

the States and...

Lea:
And?

Aaron:
She was...

Aaron:
She was a call girl.

Lea:
So she wasn't your

girlfriend.

Aaron:
No, she was.

Lea:
And she was a prostitute?

Aaron:
It was complicated.

Lea:
You really should have

told me about her, Aaron.

Aaron:
I was too afraid.

Lea:
I knew that there was something

you weren't sharing. I knew it.

Aaron:
This is it. I swear.

Lea:
You think that was easy for

me? Aaron:
No. Lea: What I shared?

Aaron:
I know.

Lea:
That was the whole

point, Aaron. Aaron: I know.

Lea:
Why would you need to go

see a prostitute?

Aaron:
It was Neil and Teddy's

thing.

Lea:
Thing?

Aaron:
Yeah they found this place...

it was really hip and exciting.

Aaron:
We were young. Neil had more

money than we knew what to do with.

Lea:
So you decided to go buy

some women?

Aaron:
This is the only thing that I

haven't told you about, Lea. I swear.

Lea:
You loved her.

Aaron:
No.

Lea:
Yeah that's why it took

you so long to commit.

Aaron:
No, it had nothing to do

with that.

Lea:
What did that have to do

with?

Aaron:
Lea...

Aaron:
Still not talking to me?

Aaron:
I think you're

overreacting.

Lea:
I don't care what you

think.

Aaron:
But he seems to think he

was pushed out somehow. From Proem.

Mark:
Bullshit. You know he tried

that same crap with me at the reunion?

Aaron:
Well that's what he

thinks.

Mark:
You just need to stop

talking to him, dude.

I think he might know something

about you-know-what

Aaron:
"You-know-what?"

Mark:
Yeah I think Neil might have

told him about Plan B before he died.

Aaron:
Plan B?

Mark:
Where we all pretend that

you think Neil and I fixed the hole?

Aaron:
But you did.

Mark:
Oh come on Aaron. It wasn't

fixable. It was hide-able in the code.

Mark:
Aaron?

Aaron:
What would that mean if

that came out?

Mark:
It's impossible to find,

trust me.

Aaron:
Unless he knew where to

look.

Or he wouldn't be sniffing around

you for it he'd be using it.

Aaron:
Using it? How?

Mark:
Well he could... No,
