- I don't feel up to this.

- Walmart greeter.

Hey, how much you think

an exterminator makes?

Security guard.

Sweet, you'd get a Taser.

- Hey, guess what,

script's back on.

I think I was just tired before

but, a lot of these notes

are really, really great.

Oh, and guess what.

So, there's this guy from

my old writers group,

he sold his script to Paramount.

Dreams do come true.

And Jamie is a

soul-crushing b*tch.

- Great, as long as

that's not your total plan

for how we'll survive.

- Hey, I can do this.

- Okay, god, should

I get out my pom poms

and do a cheer?

- No.

- It's my first

all day, I swear.

Goddammit, you have a

drink, chill a little.

- What did we talk about?

- But, I'm drinking for two now.

- That's not funny.

- You make me anxious,

be sweet again.

- I'm sorry, okay, I will be.

Just let me get some

work done, okay?

Kat.

Kat, come on.

- Come here, come on.

- My notes.

- Ya know what?

F*** you and f*** your notes.

Yay.

Daddy's home.

Oh my god.

Come here, I've

been looking online.

Baby monitor, guess we

won't need one of those.

Bonnets.

Oh, baby booties.

See?

I'm working stuff out.

So, you don't worry,

no, you don't.

It's all good.

- I can't believe you did this.

- Now, don't you do

or say bad things.

I'm celebrating.

We never even celebrated this.

Uh oh, daddy's mad.

- Just sit down, okay.

We need to just

stop for a minute

and think about this.

Oh god, my hands are shaking.

God.

Is this how guys become

absent dads or abusive?

I'm scared, okay?

What kind of life is

this for the kid, huh?

How are we gonna

raise it, seriously?

- I can have a baby

alone, I don't need you.

- How are you even

gonna support it?

How are you even gonna live?

- Oh, right, you

know what, f*** you.

Just like your dad, he

walked out on your mom

and you're walking out on me.

- Stop Kat, please.

We can't go through

with it, we can't.

Kat, please.

Kat.

Just stop, okay, stop, stop.

- No, stop.

- Don't say that.

- No you lied to me.

- I didn't mean to, okay, I

didn't mean to, I'm sorry.

- No, leave me alone.

- I'm so sorry

- Stop touching me.

- I'm so sorry.

- Stop touching me, please, stop.

- I'm sorry, please no.

Kat, I'm sorry, okay.

- I'll stop drinking,

okay, all by myself.

- We can't, okay?

- Please.

I'm never doing that again.

- Come on, you should

take your pills.

- Take them later.

- You know it doesn't mean we

couldn't try again someday.

You know, when our

lives are more together.

Honey, can't we just talk about.

- It's too early for that.

- I wanna go home to Idaho,

I need money for the bus.

I never wanna see you again.

- Alright, take it.

Alright, just f***in' take it.

You know what, just

take everything

like you always

f***in' do, alright.

- Take your f***ing key.

F***ing a**hole.

What if Joan of Arc

Was looking for a spark

For the kindling in her heart

For the flame

And if superman

Was her biggest fan

Would he hold her hand

Through the flame

Even on that fiery day

Joan of Arc

- Hi mom, happy Mother's Day.

Was heard to say

- No, I'm doing great, why?

I'm alive

I'm alive

- What can I say?

Matter decays,

the universe ends.

That's reality.

Guess I should clean

this place up a little.

I went to a 12 step

meeting after Kat left,

just to check it out.

They said if you

can't help somebody

without expecting

something in return,

you shouldn't do it.

That's my relationship

with women.

It's helping them, expecting

something in return.

Hi Kat.

Been looking for you

here on Facebook.

I wish you would say hi

and tell me how you are.

Hey, you know the couple

we used to watch

with our binoculars?

I see that the girlfriend

has moved back in

and they're having more

of that nasty makeup sex.

Bet you wish you could see that.

L-M-F-A-O

I have something to share.

- Oh my god, David

wrote a real script.

Look, look, pages.

- Yeah, well, don't get

too excited, alright,

you guys are gonna hate it.

It's okay, seriously.

'Cause I like it.

- So great, we

finally got a David script.

- And we have Dan's.

- Romeo and Juliet.

- Those aren't comedies.

I'm not talking career suicide,

I'm talking like

suicide suicide.

- He's not foolin' anyone,

he's not gay, man, we are so.

- Dan, you're up.

Suicide pact buddy comedy.

- I don't believe suicide

comedy's been done yet.

- Are you kidding me?

- What about Harold and Maude?

- Yeah.

- No, no, no.

Well, okay, I'm talking

like double suicide.

- Well, that's it.

Now, I honestly loved Kat

so, I don't want

this to sound mean

but, my life is

better without her

and it's not just

because she was insane.

It takes two to make

a relationship crazy.

Oh, something I

wanted to show you.

There's this theory,

that the universe

doesn't just break

up in the end.

But, there's actually

a new universe

growing inside of this one,

and eventually it'll just push

the old one outta the way.

Creation, constantly

rewriting itself.

I like that.

There's a little

light shining down

Just enough to make me see

A little light is all I need

There's a little light

shining down

My life is better without her.

Hello.

What happened?

Oh my god, are you okay?

Yeah, yeah, I know

where that is.

No, no, I'm gonna

come to get you,

alright, just stay there.

Yes, in my car.

- No, no, god no.

I made it.

Are you alright?

- I got a cell phone

now so, that's cool.

- What's up though?

You said there was an

emergency, you were in trouble?

- I got left here.

- Yeah, and?

- I need a ride.

- I didn't even

know you were back.

You know my car broke

down on the way here.

I had to get a ride

with some weird guy,

he was like some sort

of like faith healer,

and he put the car

on cruise control,

and he tried to expel

demons from my forehead.

Enough with this bullshit, okay?

Seriously, why'd you call me?

- I'm back.

Take me home.

- So, who left you, huh?

Was it your new boyfriend?

Oh, David will take me

back, he's a big p*ssy.

Right, cause I'm a

big comfy vagina?

I can't do this, not again.

But, you'll survive,

you always do.

Stay, alright, stay right here

and don't even think

about following me.

Go.

Okay, you need some help?

Go.

You know how much I gave to you?

Do you?

No, no, no more.

No more.

Brush me off but I'll be back

Your runaway talk well it is just that

- We can't let the apartment get so messy.

Alright, I can't

write when it's messy.

You try to outrun your ghosts

You say I couldn't

possibly know

But I know

You need someone - I'm just

saying, people can change.

You believe that, don't you?

And I bet you know

You need someone

Well I'm standing right here

Got my heart wide open

I'd like it to be me

If you need someone

I'd like it to be me

Don't go it alone

It's a long enough road

And I'd like it to be me

If you need someone

I'd like it to be me

Well there's not a soul

That hasn't felt lost

But a little hope

Can fend the pain off
