Dating Daisy Page #6

---

They started talking less

and less to each other,

even when things were good.

[voice breaking] And they

stopped talking altogether

when things were bad.

There were times

they even forgot

why they were even together.

[cries softly]

[Daisy] It's okay.

It's okay.

[crying]

[cell phone vibrates]

[sighs]

[sighs]

[cell phone chimes]

Yo, dude. Uh, I don't know

if you got my email,

but my Uncle Kevin backed out.

Apparently he got sued

by his Taiwanese ex-wife

and lost all of his money,

so he can't invest

in the app anymore.

So, you know, your parents

are gonna have to do it.

Listen, dude, I don't care

what you have to do,

whether it's go back

to Hebrew school,

start rocking a yarmulke,

go kosher,

just get

in your parents' good graces

because we're gonna

need our funding, bro.

Anyway, I hope Thanksgiving

was fantastic.

Mine wasn't

'cause I was with my family.

[chuckles]

You look like Michael Cera.

[laughs] Thanks.

You're up early.

Oh, sorry.

I was trying to be

as quiet as possible.

You want a shake?

No, I'm still stuffed.

I'm gonna go for a jog.

Oh, oh, you can join us.

- Hi, babies.

- Hi.

- Mom, are you going for a jog?

- I was thinking about it.

What the crap

is going on here?

My mom hasn't joined

me on run... ever.

You know what?

You're right.

I would just slow you down.

You two should go.

Oh, no, you were so close.

Hey, I got my walk

to the front porch,

and that's a good start for me.

[laughter]

I haven't exercised

in ten years.

This morning's not gonna make

any difference.

No, Mom, come with us.

You got to come.

Oh, and who's gonna do your

laundry for you before you go?

You?

Good luck keeping up with her.

Come on.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

[both breathing heavily]

Hmm...

[inhales deeply]

[soft music]

Leona LaRue.

Ah, the one that got away.

Honestly, she should've been.

First girlfriend.

First date, I hacked

a loogie in her face.

Wow.

I spit away from her,

and the wind threw

it back in her face.

Oh, ew.

And then we dated

for three years.

Leona LaRue lacked options.

Yeah, poor Leona.

Hmm.

I'm just thinking about

all the married girls I know.

I wonder if they lacked

options, you know?

Are they with the one,

or has the one

just not shown up yet?

Okay, all right, I got to

say some things here...

To you.

Mm...

Inside my dreams

Can you find me, love?

I'm waiting here for you

[Ana] Hey, you two,

how was the run?

[Samira] Good.

Oh, looks like you guys

worked up an appetite.

[Michael] I'm gonna wash up.

Okay, well, hurry down

so that we can all eat together.

Um, I had a shake this morning,

so I'm good,

but can I borrow the car?

- I'm gonna just go out.

- Why?

Because I forgot some things,

you know, things a girl needs.

Well, Eleanor has some things.

I get...

I get allergic reactions,

so I have to be

super particular about...

Well, Michael can take you.

Okay, no, he can't,

because it's Thanksgiving,

and the stores are closed.

- It's Black Friday.

- Mom, the stores are closed.

- Can I just have the car?

- [chuckles]

[Ana] Samira.

It's okay. Let the kids do

what they're gonna do.

[utensil clanking on plate]

[garbage disposal whirring]

[Liz] Dude.

Dude.

- Daisy, Daisy.

- Oh.

Ugh, I'm sorry.

Sorry, I-I forgot.

When do you leave with Mike?

We texted last night, actually.

And?

And we said

we loved each other.

- Holy sh*t.

- [laughs] Yeah.

So what are you gonna do?

Um...

I-I don't know yet.

Wow.

So I may have sent him the video

of you singing last night.

- Sh*t.

- What?

Oh, why would you do that?

Liz, f***.

[Liz] I was just trying to help.

Michael.

I don't even know what to think,

- I am so embarrassed.

- Whoa.

Ele, what the hell is going on?

Oh, come look.

Look what your son did.

What?

- How did you get that?

- I forwarded it to myself.

Oh, that makes more sense.

I thought your girlfriend

was texting your mom.

Mom, what the flying f***?

Don't you dare make this

about me.

Did Samira see this?

Is that why she's so upset?

She's upset because you

flew her across the country

to set her up with a taken guy.

What?

I'm getting back with Daisy.

W-we still love each other.

Daisy, the song's beautiful.

Was he not supposed to hear it?

Well, what if that's

not where I'm at, Liz?

What if I'm not where he

needs me to be at right now?

This is so backwards.

I mean, you were just texting

that you love him.

- Do you love him?

- Yes.

You for f***ing real love him?

Yes.

[scoffs]

Aren't guys supposed to have

the commitment issues?

This isn't commitment issues.

I'm trying to deal with my

new f***ing lease right now.

I don't know where my

next job is gonna be.

I could be homeless in a month.

Daisy. [chuckles]

That's commitment issues.

Sometimes I wish I just met him

in five years.

You would be a f***ing idiot

to let this guy go.

I mean, do you have

any idea how lucky you are

to find a guy who's willing

to put up with this sh*t?

Don't talk to me like that.

I'm sorry,

but you drive me crazy.

I can't even imagine

how he must feel.

I want to know when.

When were you gonna tell us

about this woman

you've been sneaking in and out

of your attic?

What?

This is why

it always falls apart.

She is terrified

of pleasing you guys.

You know, she had a dream

that we were Filipino,

and Mom was forcing her to spit

into a communal pot

and she couldn't do it?

Filipino?

Do I look Filipino?

[chuckles]

Oh, Nathan, don't

even start with me.

You listen to me, Michael.

You and this meshuganah girl...

it's like an addiction.

This is not love.

It's like you're addicted...

You do not know

what you're talking about.

I do know that much!

Listen to me!

All right, all right.

Go ahead, handle it.

Listen, no matter

how many notches

you think you got on your belt,

you're still young

and impressionable,

and not that they want to,

but women will wreck you.

[Ele] Ha!

Not all of 'em, but they

make you do crazy sh*t,

and everybody's got to

go through it once.

But your mom and I think

you're crawling out of a pit

just to jump right back in,

four times, five times.

I mean, you got to see after...

Look, I'm sorry.

People don't change.

I don't want her

to change, Dad.

Yes, you do,

not in a bad way, but you do.

Haven't you always said

how unhappy she is,

her place in life?

She's happier with me.

I'm happier with her.

Oh, Michael, you think things

are gonna go great in life

because you're both happy.

I can't help

who I fall in love with, Mom.

Listen to me.

If I told you that this girl

wasn't gonna figure out

what she wants out of life

for another 10 years,

would you still love her

and want to be with her?

Yes.

- You know, it's not your life.

- [scoffs]

And I didn't ask you

for your f***ing advice.

[laughs] Daisy, you always ask

for my advice.

Do you want to be with him,

or are you too scared to admit

that you don't

want to be with him?

F*** off.
