he likes me.

He's emotionally...

You know, acts like a child in that area.

And... and...

Have to go

all the way down there.

Go, as you go.

Monica knows about John.

And he's been gone all those

years, you know, I told Scott

I'm with you and John's gone.

And he keeps saying "What can

I do to be more like John?"

And I said, "You're you

and he's John."

And, so it's very frustrating because I

feel like... I feel like, you know...

He doesn't want to be

with me, I feel like,

maybe he doesn't like me, maybe

there's something wrong...

And then I said, well, you know,

maybe there's something wrong.

So, you know,

I'm just being me.

Then I get frustrated, because

then it causes arguments. It

makes me feel really insecure.

And you know I'm tired

of being rejected.

Think about, you know, having disabilities

and people rejecting you your whole life.

And then...

When I go to cuddle him,

he pushes me away. And...

It's very uncomfortable.

And I can't stand when people sit

there and they play with your phones

um, I don't know...

You know how you notice people have those

iPhones and they sit there playing?

[sobbing] I don't know why

I'm being such a baby about it.

It's all right, sweetheart,

don't think about it.

I shouldn't be. I shouldn't be.

[sobbing continues] And I'm sorry,

because you don't need this.

Because, it's like

I'm a selfish person.

You're not selfish, sweetheart,

it's okay.

[sobbing] I just, um...

Sometimes I get

frustrated because...

I know you try really hard.

But sometimes

I just get frustrated.

[sniffles]

This should help. Listen...

[soft music playing]

Just listen.

["Right here waiting for you"

playing]

- That's that song that I like...

- That's it, that's it.

[Dina humming]

I'll be right here

Waiting for you

Right.

[Dina humming]

[both] Day after day

And I slowly go insane

[both] I hear your voice

[both] On the line

But it doesn't

Stop the pain

[both] If I see you

Next to never

[both] How can

We say forever

Wherever you go

Whatever you do

I will be right here

Waiting for you

Read the book and see

what you see in the book.

- Uh-huh.

- That might, you know, that might

strike the chord

with you that... that...

Maybe you can do an exercise,

maybe you can do some yoga.

Maybe he needs to, uh,

have a wank on first.

- You know, just take the edge off.

- Uh-huh.

And taking the edge off

is what you need.

- Uh-huh.

- And I promise you,

You'll be able to do it.

It'll be fun.

And sex isn't just

for procreation.

Uh-huh.

You know...

Uh-huh, it doesn't help

either that

my self esteem is not exactly

the best right now.

It's getting there.

But I'm not there yet.

Well, you have to,

think that you are...

you know, have your mantra.

I am good enough.

People like me.

I wish everybody liked me.

Don't cry.

I try not to.

Two girls I work with,

the couple at work tell me

you're very good looking.

Yeah, the ones

that see you at work?

I saw your son, he's...

He's looks so good,

he's so good looking or...

He looks just like you or...

He's you know...

You're so, ready

for the wedding, huh?

- I certainly am.

- Good.

Someone's gonna get lucky

on their honeymoon.

[indistinct]

Yeah, I know.

Got your tux ready?

Yeah, I've had that ready

for a couple of days now.

I remember when Monica and I

first thought of going out...

Yes, we had...

We had a great time.

We had these arguments,

something stupid all time.

That's all a part of...

All a part of relationship.

- Uh-huh.

- Then...

Years later, we got to like,

know each other very well.

By the time that I asked to marry me, yeah,

I was nervous, I was nervous as hell.

I was on the couch,

playing with my fingers, like,

"Margret, come over here."

like, Margret, marry me?

She said yes.

I popped the question.

- That was the most romantic thing I've...

- Yes.

- Red Robin, what a romantic place to get hitched.

- Yes.

- What was that?

- Is it Red Robin?

That was in June.

I'll never forget it.

Well, over a year ago,

we went to a movie,

the previous week,

I had ordered a cake,

a Winnie the Pooh cake.

I said, will you marry me?

Right? So we go to the movies,

I called them up,

and I said, don't forget to bring

the cake and the ring with you.

All right.

They leave the cake

at the hostess stand,

mom goes out,

pretends to go out,

and get whatever she's

gonna get from the car.

She brings the cake,

they bring it to the table,

and Dina was so shocked

when she saw this cake,

soon as they brought the cake,

I went down on one knee

asked her to marry me,

the who place was loving it.

[indistinct chatter]

[Dina] We probably have minor

cases and they're under control.

But then, you get people who

killed people in the shooting

and they don't want to check

your medication.

Yeah, at some point

the direction, the medicine...

[indistinct chatter]

Dina, sometimes,

meds could be...

- Uh-oh.

- Uh-oh.

Oh, my gosh.

- Hello.

- Uh-oh.

[siren wailing]

So how was it

the first time you did it?

Um...

It's just... Basically, the

first time, I was nervous.

- I was at...

- That bad.

- I bet you were.

- Yeah.

You're not nervous, you're

either doing it wrong or...

You're just unconscious.

I don't know what's going on.

[indistinct chatter]

Yeah, I would, if I had.

- Yeah.

- I'll bet.

I would actually be scared

- out of my wits if I was...

- Yes.

- I had to have sex with...

- Yeah.

Uh-huh.

- What about you and Dina?

- We haven't gotten that far yet.

Okay.

I mean, I barely kiss her.

That's the point.

So I'm afraid of doing something

wrong, you know what I mean?

- Yes.

- Like in the wrong position.

All of a sudden something

comes out in the wrong way.

"Sorry, dear. I didn't mean

to squirt you in the face."

All right.

Or afraid you might do something the

wrong way that she might get mad though?

Yeah.

Like I'm too rough on her

or whatever.

She thinks sometimes when I hug her,

I'm too rough on her she tells me.

Yeah.

[loud cheering]

[pop music playing]

[laughing loudly]

I like your butt.

[indistinct chatter]

I like this.

[pop music playing]

Be careful with Laura.

She has bad legs.

[indistinct chatter]

[indistinct chatter]

Sorry, Pat.

Yes! Yes!

That's how you're supposed to

shoot that one.

- What?

- That's how you're supposed to shoot that. Right between them.

Cheers.

To a wonderful wedding and we're

gonna have a great time on Sunday.

- You bet.

- There you go.

- We're gonna be dancing. Cheers.

- Cheers.

You got it.

Okay.

[unclear] ...is married.

She's very happily married.

[pop music playing]

[giggling]

[indistinct chattering]

Voila.

- I can't see Laura. There we go.

- Here we go.

- You're sweaty.

- I know.

- You're ripply...

- Oh, I can't see Jen...

I can tell you work in a health club.

You have the ripples.

- Look.

- Be careful.

- Okay.

- Ready?

Yeah.

One, two, three.

[Dina] Hello?

Hey, I just wanted to
