Don't Think Twice Page #6

I'm so sorry, and we're gonna

get through this, okay?

I know.

All right?

Thank you.

All right.

Love you.

Where you going?

I... I gotta go to work.

He had a seizure last week,

actually, which is not a good sign.

Really? Yeah. We're

all really on edge.

God, that sucks, bill.

I'm so sorry.

Yeah.

It's been pretty grim.

It's been pretty grim, you know?

So, um, here's our writing packet.

Yes.

All right. We worked

really hard on it.

Yeah, it's good.

It's good.

Got it. No, no, okay,

guys, absolutely.

Um...

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Yeah.

Remember, don't thank me yet.

All I can do is try to get

it toward Timothy's desk.

You know what I mean?

Much appreciated.

Yeah. Absolutely.

I want you to know that I

am recommending everybody.

I'm recommending you guys

and miles and... you know.

Yeah. Miles, yeah.

Just remember, we're the two that

have never talked sh*t about you.

You know, miles, I'm gonna

put in a good word for you,

but it's not my job to give.

Right.

But they'll want me, right?

I...

I taught you.

I know.

I taught you everything.

Just tell them that.

They have Jack Mercer. Now

they can get his teacher.

I'm gonna...

I'm gonna recommend

all you guys.

'Cause I think that's only fair.

This is very unattractive.

Your, like, little hat...

And your... your attitude.

This whole like,

"I'm bigger than everybody."

It's like...

You're just like us.

Your head is so big right now.

Your-your whole

egocentric world...

You just have...

You're completely unaware.

You are st...

You are striking out at me right

now, and I don't understand why,

because I already told you all

I can do is submit your packet

and let the chips fall

where they may.

I just don't feel

like he believes in me.

My dad always told me,

"the thing with an easy sell

is that the thing has

to actually be easy to sell."

What does that even mean?

You have to have the goods.

I don't have the goods?

You can work on the goods

instead of working on Jack.

Do the work.

Oh, I've been working

on the goods.

What are you doing?

Like, are you working right now?

Are you applying for anything?

Uh, unemployment.

Unemployment?

Your parents own a brownstone

on the upper West Side.

Yeah, they do.

I'm separate from them.

You go to therapy twice a week.

Who pays for that?

I'm not having

this conversation.

I just think it's weird that

you're the richest one among us...

And you get checks from the

government that we pay for.

Don't you think that's true, Mr. Coughlin?

Miles, let this one go.

Dog, dog!

Hey, look what I got for you!

My dad bought two tickets

to the Marshfield high school

production of Peter Pan.

Aw.

You look like Peter Pan.

I think he's just nostalgic

for back when I was the star

of every play, you know.

When I was in high school,

I won the Eisner award

for most promising cartoonist,

and I've never had

one book published.

Data's working on this graphic novel.

It's amazing.

Oh, I don't know.

What's it about?

Okay.

So it's about this girl and

she lives in this small town,

and then...

Well, she's a sculptor,

and the whole town

saves up money

and sends her

to the sculpture academy.

And when she gets there,

she never sculpts again.

Why not?

Because she's intimidated.

Can we read it?

Well, it's not done yet.

- Got your back.

- Got your back.

- Got your back.

- Got your back.

Got your back.

Got your back.

Got your back.

Got your back.

Got your back.

Please welcome the commune!

We never even really left. No.

Wow.

You just had to wish for us.

Here I am, 58 years old

and twice divorced,

and finally

my imaginary friends return.

Even if we're imaginary,

we love you.

It's the only love

you've ever felt.

You guys...

You feel more real than you

did even when I was a kid.

You're such a great guy.

Sorry none of your wives

ever said that.

And the most

important thing is, don't think.

Del close was the first one who said that.

It's everything.

You don't think, you don't memorize,

you don't... you don't get paid.

Oh, Gary, so true.

But isn't that

kinda fun too? Right?

I remember that one. What am I doing?

Oh, my god.

Remember that? Oh, yeah! I

totally remember that one.

Yeah.

Let's use this box for storage.

So we'll just put stuff in here.

Okay.

- Why are we wearing pajamas?

- Nighttime with us.

They wanna dream in these

improv for America shirts?

They were supposed to go... guys.

You're not gonna believe what I just found.

Do you remember this?

These tuxedos my dad gave us after

he bought out that dry cleaner?

We used to actually

wear these in shows.

All right, what are we thinking?

Storage or garbage?

No, storage.

People loved these.

Why'd we stop wearing them?

It's so small.

I'm so small.

They were fun to wear.

Not a bad idea.

I was seriously worried that other

teams were gonna rip off the idea.

Do you guys feel like this

whole process is kinda like...

Life telling us

to just maybe move on?

Your writing packet is

really good, you guys.

You know, like, weekend live

would be lucky to have you.

Oh, my old...

You don't want it?

No.

I feel like your 20s

are all about hope,

and then your 30s are all about

realizing how dumb it was to hope.

Oh, my god.

Look at you.

You look like a little

claymation seven-year-old.

Wait. Let me see. That's me.

That's a boy.

Who is the one who looks like

he's made of flour and water?

I was 21 years old.

Like, without the commune,

who am I?

It's like when I go

to the grocery store

and people treat me

like I don't exist,

I'm in my head, "boy, I got a secret.

I go onstage. I kill.

I crush. I'm a superhero."

But without improv,

I'm kinda just a loser.

So it was like a silent meditation retreat?

Yeah. In Brazil.

And everyone was quiet.

Okay.

For days.

Okay.

It was...

It was incredible.

I could hear myself think for the first

time, I think, in my whole life.

I bet you got in trouble

for humming.

What do you mean?

'Cause you hum.

I remember that from algebra class.

What?

Mrs. green always

used to get mad

because you would hum

while you were doing equations.

You'd get this faraway look in

your eye and start humming.

I could never figure out

what the song was.

Okay, you know

way too much about me.

That's the tip of the iceberg.

You're freaking me out.

I'm onto you! Now will you

sleep in my college dorm?

No!

I like you.

I like me too.

You just said,

"I like me too."

No, I didn't.

Yes, you did.

Yeah, you did. You did. No.

The point is, I like you too.

Mmm.

Oh, hey. Hey. What's going on?

I snuck out early

to go to a pharmacy.

I'm pregnant.

Oh!

Um...

Great.

That was fast.

Usually it takes... At

least four to six visits.

No, it's this guy I met in Brazil.

I'm pretty sure.

The... the silent retreat guy?

Yeah.

The silent guy?

You guys just got

straight to it, no talking?

Yeah. No words required.

Um...

Is he gonna be the dad, or...
