Love the Coopers Page #5
she wanted to...
Percy, stop tilting your head.
Percy, stand with
your legs apart.
Percy, don't smile so big.
I said that I wanted to be...
An explorer.
And now you wear a "Do not
enter" sign across your chest.
You couldn't be a gay man,
so you became a stereotype of a man.
Oh, it's so sad.
The things we do
in our childhood,
just to fit in,
make us stand apart as adults.
Cold, hard truth is, when I was asked
what I wanted to be when I grew up,
I never said, "alone."
You feel alone
with three teenagers?
Oh, them. No. I lied.
I don't have any kids.
I don't even have a husband.
What?
Yeah. I knew you'd think,
"She's alone,
"she's not getting any younger.
Of course she'd swallow a brooch."
I opened up to you
and you lied to me.
No, I lied
before you opened up.
The conversation part
of this arrest is over.
CHARLOTTE:
What?What?
That scream you made,
coming down the hill.
[CHARLOTTE LAUGHING]
Is that the Whitehead kid?
The one we used
to call Schnozzle?
Quick, quick,
what was his name?
Skippy.
Don't say. "Skippy"
CHARLOTTE:
Oh, here. Oh.Hey. Think you can
drop me at the mall?
Get in.
All right.
Thanks.
CHARLOTTE:
Seriously,what's his name? I can't remember.
SAM:
Schnozington.Oh.
SAM:
Get in the back, Rags.CHARLOTTE:
Does your mom knowyou're out hitchhiking?
No, she took my keys away
when she caught me with pot in the car.
Well...
What?
It's not like we never
got stoned, Charlotte.
We grew up in the '60s.
[LAUGHS]
You grew up in the '60s?
Cool!
Hear that, Charlotte?
What?
Schnozzle Whitehead
thinks we're cool.
[SNICKERS]
Wait. What did you call me?
[BOTH MUMBLING]
Yeah we used to...
It was groovy.
We knocked around.
We went to concerts.
Charlotte met Bob Dylan.
Are you serious?
What was he like?
No, I only met him
for a couple of seconds.
off of him.
Were you guys hippies?
Yeah!
No.
What do you mean, "No"?
Oh, my God!
She used to speak
at rallies,
in front of anybody.
No, it's just that I liked
how loud my voice sounded
over the microphone.
It's nothing at all.
Oh, no. You were fearless,
man, you had passion.
I don't remember much
of that at all.
You don't remember that day?
No.
Really?
[FOLK MUSIC PLAYING]
That was a long time ago,
when...
That was our...
first time, huh?
Your idea to go up
in the woods.
That was not.
I followed you, I did.
Oh, no, I followed you.
SAM:
I couldn't takemy eyes off you.
CHARLOTTE:
You can just let me out here.
If you want.
Right here is good,
actually.
[FOLK MUSIC CONTINUES]
[GIRL OF THE NORTH COUNTRY PLAYING]
Look, I crossed the line.
I'm sorry.
All right.
I came on
a little strong.
No, I shouldn't have said that.
That was below the belt.
I wouldn't let it go.
It's on me. All right?
It's true.
It is your fault.
You're a total hussy.
Look, sometimes
things happen...
when you're not even
looking for it.
He tell you that?
Yeah.
Great.
Hey, I would love to have fallen
for someone as presentable as you.
Okay? Trust me.
No. You just want to fall for me
because you know I'm leaving.
Do you always speak
in country lyrics?
[BOTH LAUGH]
Well, it's been, um...
Exhausting.
Yeah.
[BOTH LAUGH]
Have a good...
Yeah, you too.
I'll think good thoughts
for you in the new year.
Oh, wow! You sound exactly
like my mom.
[LAUGHING]
Cool.
I have four sisters, so...
I can sound
like anyone's mom.
Oh, well,
mine would love you.
Anyway, bye.
Yup.
Come with me.
What?
Look, I know you don't know me,
you're not even sure if you like me, but...
be my boyfriend.
Uh...
Listen, I can't deal with that
Okay? Just be my boyfriend
for one night.
Oh, no way.
What are you going to do?
There's no flights
until morning.
Look at this, you're just going to spend
Christmas by yourself,
eating dinner
at Wetzel's Pretzels?
All right. Okay, stop! That's crazy.
You're being deployed.
You deserve a crazy,
pull out all the stops, home-cooked meal
and I can guarantee you that.
You would make
my parents so happy.
I mean, really, isn't it
Okay, well, fine, but...
It involves
a tiny white lie, yes.
But a lie
that provides comfort.
And it's really perfect
because you are going to war.
And, you know,
that's a win-win.
I'm just...
[PEOPLE GIGGLING]
Sorry.
Wow.
That is, kind of,
a beautiful moment.
Look, hey...
All we would
have to figure out
is how long
we've been together.
And what your name is.
CHARLIE:
I just got you...It's Christmas, so,
I got you a mistletoe!
[LAUGHS]
It's lame, whatever,
I'm stupid.
NARRATOR:
Never havingFrench-kissed before,
Charlie felt Lauren's tongue
in his mouth
and he thought she was having
an epileptic seizure.
When he realized she wasn't,
Francis, the mall cop,
contemplated breaking up the young couple,
not because they were kissing,
but because they were doing it so badly.
But, before he could,
not knowing why,
every kiss Francis had under
a mistletoe flashed before his eyes
like a Christmas gift.
Ugh.
Get out!
Get out of here!
Sorry.
Boo.
What's your problem, Lauren?
You're not such a dog.
What are you doing hanging
out with this pus-face here?
Shut up, Brady.
BRADY:
Ooh.You're going to let your girlfriend
talk to me like that,
Blisters?
Huh, p*ssy?
Mommy ever teach you
about deodorant?
He doesn't smell
that bad, okay?
but not that bad.
I smell?
BRADY:
I can smell you halfwayacross the mall.
Oh, yeah? Make me.
[YELLS]
Yes!
Run!
NARRATOR:
This was the storyBo would tell his friends for years.
Now, what really happened.
[GRUNTS]
[SCREAMS]
[THUD]
NARRATOR:
His mission to rescuehis brother abruptly terminated,
Bo sat empty handed,
contemplating the cataclysmic
consequences of his failure.
Okay, we met where?
Airport bar.
Too trashy.
volunteer work?
Okay, where do you volunteer?
I don't.
Now I don't have to.
Yeah, I don't think
just talking about volunteering counts.
Pretty sure it does.
Okay, how come
You're a Republican.
When I first saw him,
I thought...
But, he was brave.
She was...
plucky.
[LAUGHS]
He uses words like, "plucky."
That laugh.
First time I heard it,
I was floored.
He was open in a way that
I wasn't even put off
by his faith.
I actually thought
it was kinda hot.
The whole time she talked
about "evolution,"
I wondered...
what it would be like
to touch her neck.
You have a great neck.
Oh.
I like the way he touches
his lower lip when he's feeling vulnerable.
I don't do that.
