Manhattan Romance Page #7

- Yeah.

- You're here,

you got the no shirt on

in November,

she's a f***in' beautiful woman,

and you wanna f*** her,

but you're using

the spiritual thing as like...

- Hey, hey.

- No, I'm just saying.

He said he wants to be real

like I'm being real.

But you're not gonna

admit that.

You're gonna say,

"It's all love,

and it's about

the connection, man. "

Okay, look,

you don't know me, man.

Sex is one emotion

on a much larger compass.

Do you have like spiritual

Tourette's or something?

What are these platitudes?

I'm gonna go. This is so weird.

I feel like

really weird right now.

- Don't go like this, Danny.

- We'll talk later.

You should have told me

you had sh*t going on.

- No, no, no.

- Danny, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Don't walk out with this,

this anger on you.

Can you just adjust your

expectation and be with us?

I feel like I'm doing that

all the time when I'm with you.

That we were gonna just have

a one-on-one thing,

and there's sometimes

always a party here,

and I just wasn't ready for it,

you know what I mean?

Okay.

And I love who you are,

and I want you

to be who you are,

but it's just hard

for me sometimes

'cause I wanna have you in a way

that I know I can't have you.

But you're great,

and I'm grateful for you.

So I just need to go right now.

- Okay.

- All right?

All right.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Be well.

Do you ever have times

where you do feel

jealous or angry?

Yeah, I feel those things,

but I know that

they're not real

and that you...

They're just, they're just ego,

and you have to...

breathe and come back

to yourself.

Oh, I'll be right back.

If you were smart,

you'd use Grand Marnier.

- Hi!

- How are you?

- Good. How are you?

- Good to see you.

Thank you.

Come meet these guys.

This is Danny.

I want to introduce you

to Danny.

Oh, good to see you!

What's going on?

Nice to see you.

Congratulations.

We're just discussing really

important political matters here

like how to make

a good margarita.

That's important.

That's how we're

gonna win this thing!

Guys, I'm gonna

check in with you later.

I'm gonna show

this gentleman around.

Of course.

Good to meet you guys.

Nice to meet you.

All right. Have a good time.

Yeah.

That guy's a real a**hole.

Sit over there.

I'll come find you guys later.

- Oh, right.

- His way.

No, that's all it comes from.

What are you doing here?

You wanna sit down?

It's good to see you.

How are you?

I'm gonna take my coat off,

all right?

Can I have a sip of your beer?

Yeah, of course.

How you doin'?

Good.

It's been a while.

Are you drunk?

I miss you, Danny.

It's so good of you to come.

I mean not yeah.

You know what I mean.

Shut up!

No, no, I'm not drunk.

It's a good party.

It is!

It's a dumb party,

but it's fun.

- Oh, my God.

- What?

I love this f***ing song.

Will you dance?

You're gonna dance with me.

You're gonna dance with me

right now!

I just got here.

Let me have a little drink.

Okay. Drink that

in the next five seconds.

I don't wanna dance just yet.

We have to dance right now?

Yes, come on.

All right, fine.

It's all about grass roots.

And tonight you saw that.

'Cause it's all about people,

it's all about

every one of you,

Democrats, Republicans,

inclusive.

Hey.

Hey.

What're you doin' in here

all alone?

That's how I like it, I guess.

Too bad.

I wanna come bug you.

- I thought you'd left.

- Nope.

- It's good to see you.

- You too.

It's weird. I feel like

nobody sees me like you do.

It's true. I just think

these last couple months,

like I've just felt like...

invisible or somethin'

from not seeing you.

I know.

Me too.

So what happened?

What do you mean?

Like after that night.

- Oh, that.

- Yeah.

Sorry. I don't mean

to make you uncomfortable.

No, no, I wanna...

I just can't be fake

with you, you know?

It's just impossible.

I know.

I don't know

what happened, Danny.

I guess I just...

freaked out.

You freaked out?

Wow. The tables turned.

I don't know.

I didn't wanna lose you and...

I just couldn't deal.

Welcome to my world.

Yeah, I guess we both

couldn't deal.

Yeah. I've been not dealing

my entire life.

I'm so tired of it.

I just wanna deal for once.

See how the other half lives,

you know?

What?

What's goin' on?

I don't know. It's dumb.

Well, you do too.

I'm just not saying it.

Like you want me

to really say it?

I don't know. I don't know

what you're talking about.

I wanna kiss you right now,

okay? That's the truth.

And I feel like

that's all I ever do

is like I have to pretend

that I don't wanna kiss you

every time I'm with you.

And I get to like

hang out with you and Emmy

and have dinner

and come party here,

and it's just...

I'm just tired of it.

I like you, you know?

And I like being around you.

I'm just waiting, you know,

for them to leave

so I can be alone again,

and I never feel that with you.

Shut up.

No.

I love you like this.

You do?

- Danny, Danny, stop.

- What?

- We can't.

- Yes, we can.

- No, we can't.

- Why not?

There are people involved.

What are you doing?

I'm trying to shut you up.

- Danny.

- What?

What?

Danny.

- What?

- Danny, don't do this.

What? This is me dealing.

You're happy.

That's not what you were that

night with me, that's for sure.

Look, we were...

Emmy and I were fighting,

I was upset.

You can't just use that.

I felt it, okay?

And I felt it from you.

Tell me you're happy.

F*** you!

Who do you think you are?

I'm not gonna prove myself

to you, okay?

Tell me you love her.

Hi, you guys!

Hey!

Whoa.

- What's goin' on here?

- What are you talking about?

- Am I interrupting, huh?

- Don't be ridiculous.

I gotta go, actually,

but this was a great night.

- Oh, my God.

- I had a great time.

Wait a minute.

You stay here for a second.

You guys do me a favor.

I just want you to make out.

Because this weird

sexual tension between you guys

is driving me insane.

And if you just make out once,

you'll see that

there's nothing to it,

and it'll be gone.

- Uh, no.

- Yeah. Please?

- No. For me.

- No thanks.

Come on, one little kiss.

I don't think

she's gonna leave us alone.

Come on, it's my big night.

We'll just give her

one little kiss.

- That's all she wants, right?

- There you go.

That's it. That's fine, right?

See? Nothing. She's right.

I gotta go.

I'll see you. Have a...

Congratulations again.

What the f*** was that?

What the hell's going on?

I'm not bullying you!

I'm asking you a question!

Okay, so I don't get

to ask you any questions,

even though you were crying

and you were back here

instead of being out there

with me on my big night.

You didn't even know

I was gone.

Oh, give me a break.

Now you're gonna be a crybaby,

that I wasn't paying

enough attention to you?

Do you know what I've

been doing all night?

- Come here.

- I'm gonna go.

- Oh, come on.

- No, no.

Oh, come on!

Carla.

Come on!

- Come on, Carla.

- Let go.
