Well, where are you? Are you guys...

Did you guys make it up to, uh...

Uh, where are you going? Frisco?

All I can hope for is that this

Pixar thing is gonna pan out.

- It's not like I got a job

to go back to, right? -Yeah.

- I dunno, I guess just be

careful.

Alright, you animal, thank you.

- Call me if you need me.

- Thank you.

Bye.

Hi.

Hiiiii.

Can I ask you a weird question?

Yeah.

Where do you shoot this stuff?

- Cuz you don't have any...

- Track marks.

Yeah.

Between my toes.

I mean, of course you would do

that.

- Look at this gap.

- What?

That's freaky.

No it isn't.

Yes! It's a giant, cavernous

gap.

I tried to look pretty for you.

You do.

Are you mad?

No.

You OK?

Mm-hmmm.

So I probably should tell you...

Um...

The real reason that I...

decided to come with you,

and drag you along, really...

is not because...

you're the prettiest thing I've

ever seen.

Which you are.

But also cuz, um...

My mom got a phone call.

Um, right before.

And... my dad, who we haven't

seen for years...

Um...

I guess a couple months ago...

He killed himself.

And so we just, we just, found

out.

Some creditor had an old phone number and he

called my mom, and then my mom called me.

That's how we found out.

The worst possible way to get

that news.

I bet everyone at Pixar can

just...

feel it.

Feel what?

This impending excitement.

Who's the boss?

- What?

- Who's the boss?

Tony Danza?

- No, at Pixar.

- Oh!

Um...

- His name is John Lasseter.

- Yeah

That guy.

I bet he's sitting in his office

right now...

and he's saying to himself...

"Something is coming. "

"What can this be?"

"Something great is coming to

Pixaaaaar. "

I said, um, John Lasseter, not

John Wayne, buddy.

That's a good impression.

And he's right.

You'll be the animation

superhero.

Then you will...

make everything better.

Just like the people of

Bethlehem and the baby Jesus.

Goodnight Jesus.

Goodnight.

I think I already love you.

Is that OK?

Yeah.

I lost my virginity to a guy

almost twice my age.

OK.

I just thought I should say something

about me, because I mean...

you said a lot about you. Hug farts

and bullies and your dad and stuff.

Yeah, yeah.

I want to hear.

It wasn't like he raped me or

anything.

I mean, I was into it.

I was 17 and he was... 35.

He was kinda the first person who

made me feel like I was somebody.

Made me feel like an individual.

I guess since then, I just get,

um...

really excited about, um, the

intensity of meeting a new person.

I get really bored...

Bored quickly.

Are you bored right now?

I think we need another adventure

before we hit our final destination.

OK. What do you mean?

I dunno, we're going to frickin

San Francisco! Let's go check it out!

So you know how you asked about

my dad?

Um...

He... was my idol.

He was short, he had dark hair and blue

eyes. We looked a lot alike. Uh...

He drew. So that's why I do what

I do.

Before he left my mom and I, I would

hear them fight all the time...

That he was mad and depressed,

you know, that he...

He couldn't... chase what he

wanted to chase, because of us.

When he left...

It was bad, bad news from there

on out.

It just kinda ate him alive, you

know?

Broke his...

Broke his brain and his...

And his... and his heart.

And so that's why, uh...

That's why I'm doing this now.

With you.

It's weird to think that...

you may not see somebody you

love ever again, ever again.

But I kinda feel like...

me doing this now...

if I can make it happen...

it will be like...

I'm doing it for the both of us.

Which is kinda cool, right?

Thanks.

You're my favourite.

And that's of course spelled the

British way, with a "u. "

Because I'm fancy.

You are fancy.

Thank you.

So he knows we're coming.

- Yeah.

- OK.

- Is this too much?

- Yeah. I like your button.

- I mean it's not too much.

- OK.

Don't worry.

- Holy sh*t. Come here.

- Hi.

- Colin.

- Hey. Oliver.

- How you doing man?

- Nice to meet you.

Come on in. Come on in. How are

you?

Hey man, look who's here!

That's, uh, Richard. Richard,

this is Oliver.

- Lily's...

- Friend. My good friend, Oliver.

- Friend. Cool.

Hey.

So what's going on? You guys

hanging out for a little bit?

We're gonna head over to

SpaceJunk, it's a comic book shop.

They're doing a costume contest,

a whole panel is there tonight.

- It should be fun.

- Cool.

So Oliver, what do you do man?

Oliver's an animator. He's

really talented.

No sh*t!

I'm an animator. I do all kinds of

filmmaking stuff. But that's awesome.

Yeah yeah, uh, Lily said you

work at Pixar or...?

No! No no no. I temped there

for, like, a day.

Got fired.

Big kerfuffle.

The temp agency didn't fire me, just

Pixar didn't ask me back, you know.

Yeah, he sorta accidentally deleted two

months of background files for "Bug's Life 2".

He makes it sound like it was

intentional. It was an accident!

I was doing data backup and

screwed some sh*t up. But...

It's whatever.

Huh.

Colin, can I talk to you for a

sec?

- Yeah.

- In the other room?

Yeah, yeah, of course.

So, you and Lily, huh?

- It's good to see you.

- Yeah.

- Where you been? Where

you living at? -LA.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

So what's going on?

I've missed you.

I missed you too.

Colin, uh...

I love you.

Bye...

The sky was dark...

...and there were three different

clouds hovering over-

- What?

- Dude!

I knew it! That girl is out of

control.

- I'm really worried about him.

- What?

She's.. she's just lying.

Hang on.

- What did they say?

- Dude, uh, wait...

You can't say that and not tell

me.

I am gonna strangle that girl.

Hmmm...

- Hello?

- Hello. Hi!

Have you been kidnapped? Are you

OK?

I'm on a really hard level right

now I can't really beat...

- If that's what you mean? -Oh no, I'm

sorry, I'm looking for Oliver. Um...

Oliver just sent me a text from

this number.

This is Richard.

Oliver is with Colin and Lily.

They're, uh, going to SpaceJunk.

Wanna go?

What just happened?

I don't know. This guy answered and said

they were going to SpaceJunk or something.

Oh.

Do you, do you know where it is?

It's in the Mission.

Pendlethorpe couldn't believe

all that he saw...

What are you doing?

I love you but I can't be with

you.

Can't? You can't, or you don't

want to?

Lily?

Yes?

Can I talk to you for a second?

Yeah.

That guy's more than a friend,

isn't he?

Because that's what you told me.

Is he more than a friend? Did

you lie to me?

It's not a lie if the intention

is pure.

- What is that garbage? What

does that mean? -Shhhhh...

Is this happening right now?

- Stop it.

- Who's that guy, Lily?

We...

We dated. We are dating. I dunno.

I came to break up with him.

You brought me to your

boyfriend's house.

- He's not my boyfriend.

- That's awesome, that's great.

He's just like some stupid temp

who wasn't even a Pixar animator?

Cool. Thank you. Thank you.

- Why are you being like this?
