Going The Distance Page #2

Nice. Oh, my God.

What album holds the record

for most weeks on the Billboard 200?

Dark Side of the Moon.

- Terry, they keep interrupting me.

Then speak faster.

Seven hundred and 41 weeks,

in case you're curious.

You suck at everything else.

It's good you know something.

Yeah, well, I better not suck at that.

It's part of my job.

I work at DieseI Records. It's a labeI.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah.

The word "records"

kind of tipped me off.

What do you do for work?

I work at The New York Sentinel

newspaper.

- Oh, yeah?

- It's a newspaper.

How many different ways

can you make change for a dollar?

Ah! A dollar, if ripped, has no value.

Disqualified.

Great, nine weeks in a row.

- You got a little wing sauce, like- Um-

- Where?

Kind of in this generaI area.

The Rolling Stones took their name

from what-?

Muddy Waters!

- F*** you!

Oh, yeah.

Oh, wow.

Jesus, Snoop.

So you a big fan of Tom Cruise?

Uh, in my defense, I'm a big Top Gun fan.

- Oh, really?

- Yeah.

In fact, I like all homoerotic,

fighter-pilot movies.

- Too much? Did I lose you?

- No, no.

Is Top Gun like your favorite movie?

- It's up there. What's wrong with that?

- Nothing.

- It's the greatest.

- Yeah. It's awesome.

Wait, what's your favorite movie?

Actually, I'm gonna be really serious

right now for a minute.

- Okay, hold on.

- Ha-ha-ha.

I really wanna tell you

what my favorite movie is.

Oh, God. Please don't say, like,

Triumph of the Will.

Don't be like a closet Nazi

or something weird...

...because this is going great.

It's Shawshank.

I hope I make it across the border.

I hope to see my friend

and shake his hand.

I hope the Pacific is as blue

as it has been in my dreams.

- Ha-ha-ha.

- I hope.

- Zihuatanejo.

- Zihuatanejo.

The best.

Watching every motion

In my foolish lover's game

- Where's that coming from?

- Dan.

- How in the f*** is Top Gun music playing?

- Dan!

Hey, Garrett.

- I'm so sorry.

I forgot to tell you

that Dan's my roommate.

You guys live together?

- Uh, yeah.

- Hey, Dan!

Hello in there.

- Heh.

- Uh...

Dan, what are you doing?

Watching every motion

in my foolish lover's game?

What was our rule?

Because I can hear through the wall

doesn't mean I get to participate.

Right,

and what were you doing just now?

Participating.

- Okay.

Look, man, I just thought maybe,

you know, it'd be fun if I DJ'd your hookup.

So is this, like, what you guys do

when you bring girls over?

- He DJs your hookup?

- No.

Is that what this f***ing frat house

is all about?

No, no. Listen, I'm really sorry.

- I'm gonna go.

- Listen, listen, listen. I can explain.

Yeah? Explain.

You know what? I can't. I really have

no save here. He is a f***ing moron.

That's okay, because, you know what?

I was totally pretending to be mad.

I didn't want you to think I was slutty.

- I don't care.

- Oh.

- Think it's kind of awesome.

- Well, that's weird.

- In fact, Dan, take me to Berlin.

Here it comes!

Take my breath away

Take my breath away

Hey. Morning.

Good morning.

Um, if you're taking off, could you at least

leave the money on the nightstand?

Oh. I wasn't, um, trying to sneak out.

No. You're just putting your clothes on

really quietly...

...and tiptoeing across the floor.

- Yeah.

- It's all right.

I can stay.

- I didn't mean you had to-

- Okay, yeah.

That didn't feeI good.

Hey, hey.

You wanna maybe get some breakfast?

Food would be good.

Okay.

Now I've had the time of my life

No, I've never felt

- Dan.

Hello.

I had a great time last night.

I gotta say, that was- It's a lot of fun.

Me too.

So I should get your number.

You know, we'd maybe hang out again?

- Okay.

- All right. I have a nap- No.

- Here, I got it.

- Okay.

- Um, there's a caveat that...

- Mm-hm.

...I'd really... Um...

I'm leaving in six weeks.

And when I said that I work

at The Sentinel...

...I meant that I'm a summer intern.

And I'm actually going back to Stanford

to finish up my last year of grad schooI.

And although I'd be psyched

to hang out again...

...um, please know that

I'm not looking to start up-

Oh, wait. Uh, no, me-?

I just got out of a relationship.

- Oh. Really, when?

- Yeah.

Um...

I'm not gonna tell you

that it was last night...

...but I'm not gonna say

that it wasn't either.

- Okay, good.

- Yeah. Yep.

Well, then we know

where each other stands.

Um, the added bonus is that I now know

you're a male whore.

Yeah. I guess I- It seems like I am.

Here's my phone number.

That's awesome.

Best posture in the office, Allison.

Seriously. Best one we got.

There he is.

- How you doing?

- Hey.

Hey, I got a question for you, man.

How does someone like you end up getting

dumped and laid on the same night?

How is that possible? I mean, from all of us

sad, lonely and bitter people...

...I encourage you

to eat a big bowI of dick.

- Really? How about this?

- Mm-hm.

How about, "Good morning, Garrett"?

- Morning, Garrett.

- How you doing? What's with the luggage?

Um, my flight from Miami got in at 5 a. m.

I haven't even slept.

You would never know.

You look well-slept.

Oh, thank you. Heh.

How's, uh...?

- Mark-

- Mark.

- is great.

Uh, seeing him once every six weeks

for 48 hours, not so great.

- Yeah.

- Garrett? Can you come here a sec?

- Yeah.

- Anyways.

- All right. Well, wake up.

- Bye, boys.

- She's still with that guy?

- Yeah.

- You kidding me? But he lives in Miami.

- Yeah.

Wait- No- Yeah, hold on.

I don't think you understand

the gravity of this situation.

I wanna put things of mine

inside things of hers.

I know you do. I know.

I heart you crazy mad

Until it feels so good

I'm about to do something drastic

'Cause I gotta have it

- What is this?

- Mm-hm.

I heart you crazy mad

I'm in a panic 'cause I

I'm genuinely getting nauseous.

I'm going out of my head

Are they singing

"I heart you crazy mad"?

Yeah, they are. Sadly, they are.

Jesus. 3Z? Heh.

Now comes the fun part...

...because I get to look at your face

when I say I'm assigning them to you.

- Ah, there it is.

- Ha-ha-ha.

I know. I know it sucks.

Believe me, I know, okay?

The higher-ups wanna sign these guys.

They could be our Jonas Brothers.

Come on. Don't do this to me.

What about all the bands

that I bring you?

Demos you never listen to?

Give me a shot with those.

- That's not our focus right now.

- Will-

Hey. You know who I had to scout

when I was your age?

Nelson and Jesus Jones. All right?

You know one song. I know like 100.

You know what that does

to your emotionaI stability?

- You covered Jesus Jones?

- Yeah.

How old are you?

I don't wanna talk about that.

Do this. Show the idiots in charge

that you wanna get promoted...

...then you can make the call

on some bands.

I can't look at them without la-

I don't know how I'm gonna do this.

You'll figure it out. Unh.

Close them.

So have they offered you a job yet?

It's nice to talk to you too, Corinne.
